Using the Dosimetry Manager
|
The temperature and pressure values must be updated at least every 24 hours
or less if specified differently by the treatment center quality management plan.
If the values entered manually are outdated, you will be prevented to proceed
with treatment and will be asked to enter new temperature and pressure values
manually (see section “Entering Temperature and Pressure Values”).
2. No manual entry found
If there is no value to retrieve in the database, the system will inform you
through an error message. In this case, you will be prevented to proceed with
treatment and will be asked to enter values manually.
Entering Dose Correction Factor
The Dose Correction Factor can be updated from the Dosimetry Manager Settings
tab. To record the newly entered value in the database, click Save. You must enter
your login credentials (see Figure B-3). If you do not have the appropriate user rights,
an error message will appear.
Optionally, you can enter a comment in the main Dosimetry Manager screen.
The Dose Correction Factor is used to compensate for changing IC (Ionization
Chamber) behavior. The current Dose Correction Factor remains valid until a new one
is entered.
Note: A Dose Correction Factor must exist to enable adaPTdeliver to become
operational.
Note: It is good practice to specify a new correction factor regularly. Ask the
management of your center for the recommended frequency.
