b. Use the PPVS software (e.g., adaPTinsight) to compute a correction vector
that orients the patient as planned. The correction vector consists of
corrections to one or several PPS axes.
c. If the PPVS is connected to the PTS and configured to do it, the correction
vector is transmitted automatically. Else, manually enter the correction
vector into the TCS.
d. Apply the corrections.
e. Use the hand-pendant (e.g., Auto motion) to implement the entered
correction with the PPS.
f. Verify the corrections.
4. Confirm the optimized Setup position.
5. Move the equipment to the Treatment position.
WARNING As a Radiation Therapy Technologist (RTT) it is your responsibility to
verify the appropriateness of the corrections generated by the Patient
Position Verification System (PPVS).
WARNING When all alignment corrections have been applied and recorded by the
user, make sure that, according to treatment center procedures, a
second Radiation Therapy Technologist (RTT) verifies the entered
corrections.
WARNING Make sure that the DID flat panel arms are fully retracted before
attempting to move Patient Positioning Devices (PPDs) that can collide
with the flat panels.
WARNING After applying and implementing the corrections calculated by the
Patient Position Verification System (PPVS) software (e.g.,
adaPTinsight), it is recommended to take a new set of X-ray images to
verify proper positioning of the patient.
