Lesson 3: Adding Simulation and Treatment Fields<br />

Adding Simulation Fields<br />

You can add and view simulation field information in the Simulation Field dialog box.<br />

You can add as many Simulation Field definitions as necessary during the course of<br />

therapy for the patient. Although you can capture simulation fields directly from your<br />

simulator, you will manually add a simulation field for your patient so you know the<br />

required data. In the following exercises, you will add header information, add<br />

measurement settings, add geometric settings, add radiography settings, and copy<br />

simulation fields.<br />

Adding Header Information<br />

The simulation field header information identifies the course, prescription site,<br />

simulation field, and accelerator used in actual treatments. In this exercise, you will add<br />

header information.<br />

1. Open the chart for your lesson patient, then open the <strong>Radiation</strong> tab of the<br />

Diagnoses and Interventions window.<br />

2. Click the Lung prescription, then click .<br />

Opens the Simulation Options Menu, shown in Figure 57.<br />

Figure 57: Simulation Options Menu<br />

The Options menu lets you add a simulation field or a site simulation. Site<br />

simulations are included in this lesson. Refer to Adding Site Simulations for more<br />

information<br />

3. Click Field.<br />

Opens the General tab of the Simulation Field dialog box, shown in Figure 58.
