Monaco 5.1 (Tips and Tricks) - Templates
Demonstrates the use of site specific templates available in Monaco 5.1. Templates are used to predefine plan parameters such as the delivery type, beam arrangement, calculation properties, plan constraints and plan objectives. The use of templates streamlines the clinical workflow and helps provide consistency in the treatment plans generated. The templates available include Prostate, Lung, Breast, Anal Canal and Nasopharyngeal. These are all based on RTOG goals and constraints. This demonstration shows the process for loading a prostate template and describes the specific parameters used in the template and how to adjust these for individual clinical requirements. The IMRT constraints are described and the process for adjusting these during optimization is described as well.
