Corrections to the Treatment position are computed using adaPTinsight. For detailed
information on how to use adaPTinsight, refer to the adaPTinsight documentation
listed in the Delivery Note.
There are two steps necessary to correct the Treatment position:
1. Input the correction values using the terminal in the TR (refer to Section
"Inputting the Treatment Position Corrections" on page 49-10).
2. Implement the corrections (refer to Section "Implementing the Position
Corrections" on page 49-11).
Inputting the Treatment Position Corrections
If small corrections to the Treatment position are necessary, prepare the equipment
for this Treatment beam. For detailed information, refer to Section “Equipment
Preparation for a Treatment Beam” on page 33-8.
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 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.
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.
