Scheduling AFS Treatment Sessions
You can specify the treatment fields you want included in treatment sessions. You can also
schedule Automatic Field Sequencing (AFS) or Manual Field Sequencing (MFS) for the
selected treatment session or specific field(s) in the selected treatment session. AFS
automatically shows the next treatment field during the treatment session, and records all
fields after treatment.
CAUTION
Siemens Primus and Elekta Synergy: The gantry and collimator move
to the next field parameters before the beam turns on. Make sure
that you correctly define the AFS treatment fields.
1. In the Treatment Calendar window, add treatment sessions for the prescription site, then
click Schedule All Fields >>.
2. In the Fields To Be Scheduled dialog box, click , then click Add >>.
3. Add the treatment fields to include in the AFS group to the Fields to be Scheduled pane.
You can use and arrows to specify which of the scheduled fields to include
and in what order in the AFS group.
Elekta Composite Field Sequencing (CFS) delivers multiple treatment fields using a single
beam-on. You can use AFS to define a CFS, which consolidates a series of separate fields
into a single control point sequence. When treated as a CFS, the AFS group consists of a
group of fields intended for delivery as a single composite field.

the AFS treatment sessions.
