Manually Adding a Treatment Field
In most cases, you will copy simulation fields or other treatment fields to add
treatment fields. You can add a treatment field “from scratch” if the patient treatment
does not come over from your treatment planning system through DICOM. This
could occur if the patient was not planned out, or if you do not transfer plans from a
treatment planning system into MOSAIQ. In the following exercises, you will
manually add a treatment field and manually add geometric and other information.
