Treatment Planning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Radiotherapy, Treatment Planning is the process in which a team consisting of radiation oncologists, medical radiation physicists and dosimetrists plan the appropriate external beam radiotherapy treatment technique for a patient with cancer. This process involves selecting the appropriate beam type (electron or photon), energy (e.g. 6MV, 12MeV) and arrangements. Today, treatment planning is almost entirely computer based using patient CT data sets.
