3. Type a name of the radiation prescription in the Rx Site field. This radiation prescription
name must be unique for the selected patient.
4. Click to select the radiation technique, such as Obliques from the Technique list.
5. Click to select the treatment modality to use in the radiation prescription from the
Modality list.
6. Click to select the dose specification, such as Depthdose from the Dose Spec list.
This is the calculation point or volume for the prescribed dose (for example, D-Max,
midplane, or per treatment plan). Click to select from the list or type the first
character(s) of the known specification.
The Dose Spec field has three parts: the type of calculation specification, a numeric value
for the calculation point or isodose level, and a unit for the numeric value. Depending on
what you select for the first field, you may not need to fill in the other two fields.
7. Press TAB and type the second dose specification value in the Rx Depth field (text field
to the right of the Dose Spec field).
8. Press TAB and click to select a unit for the value you typed. For example, select cm.
9. Type the total dose in the Rx Dose field.
Defining Fractionation Patterns
The Fractionation Pattern identifies the pattern of treatment sessions the patient is to be
treated.
1. In the Radiation Prescriptions dialog box, type the fractional dose in the Fractional Dose
field, then press TAB.
The Number of Fractions field is automatically calculated. For example if the Rx Dose is
5040 with a Fractional Dose of 180, the Number of Fractions shows 28. This indicates
that, to deliver the prescribed dose, the patient needs 28 treatment sessions. The calendar
view on the right side of the fractionation phase field shows 28FxPattern?, indicating
that the fractionation pattern has not been added.
2. Type the fractionation pattern description in the text field, for example, Daily, BID etc.,
bypassing the Wave Setup Form or click adjacent to the Fractionation Pattern field to
open the Wave Setup Form dialog box.
You can add more complex fractionation patterns, such as BID using
the Wave Setup Form dialog box.
