Gating Prescription
Specify the prescription at TPS/OIS level
Your Treatment Planning System (TPS) and/or Oncology Information System (OIS)
allows you to specify in the prescription if gating is to be used for this treatment plan
or this treatment beam. This information is transferred to the PTS via DICOM. The
PTS will use this information to determine if gating is required or not.
Note on the OIS:
 OIS EMRC integration: Gating is specified at Beam level (could vary for
different treatment beams)
 OIS DEVC integration: Gating is specified at Plan level (same for all treatment
beams). In this case, the PTS extends the Gating information to each of the
individual treatment beam.
 Batch/Standalone mode: It is not possible to specify gating in the prescription
when using adaPTprescribe.
