Calculating Corrections
As a therapist you calculate the necessary corrections in the treatment room, when
the patient comes for treatment.
The complete correction calculation process comprises the following sequential
steps:
1. Start adaPTinsight, if not already started (refer to section "Starting up
adaPTinsight" on page 47-2).
2. Log into the adaPTinsight workstation, if not already logged in (refer to section
"Logging Into adaPTinsight" on page 47-2).
3. Start up X-ray generators, if not already started (refer to section “Starting the X-
ray Generators”on page 47-3).
4. Selecting the Patient, Plan and Beam.
Note: When operating in OIS mode, this selection is done automatically from
the OIS.
5. Pre-aligning the Patient.
6. Acquiring Images.
7. Registering Images.
Selecting the Patient, Plan and Beam
Start by selecting the required patient. For detailed information, refer to the
adaPTinsight documentation listed in chapter “About this Manual”.
Select the plan and beam that you want delivered, based on all clinical information
related to the patient stored electronically or on paper, following the internal rules of
your treatment center.
The first beam to select is the setup beam, followed by the defined treatment
beams. When you select a beam, adaPTinsight displays the associated DRRs.
Pre-aligning the Patient
In the TR, pre-align the patient: load the patient on the couch and perform pre-
alignment using the lasers. Try to do this as precisely as possible, this will enhance
efficiency and reduce the total alignment time and effort.
