Module 3

Learning objectives and overview

Learning objectives

  • To know how to evaluate a treatment plan

  • To know how to document a treatment plan for clinical use
  • To be able to plan a treatment for a more difficult, clinical case



Overview of module

This module introduces the DVH panel, including dose statistics and biological plan evaluation panels. The plan evaluation tools are applied to competing treatment plans for a clinical case. This is followed by the simulation of a DICOM transfer of the plan to an "imaginary" treatment linac and the collection of information necessary to document a finished treatment plan.
The challenge of this module is to create a treatment plan for a clinical case of your choice. The targets and organs are already contoured. Your task is to complete all other steps in the treatment planning process, starting with the planning itself and finishing with plan evaluation and documentation.
