4. Data transfer / TPS

Recommendations

• Set-up and verify DICOM path between image acquisition console

and RT TP workstation.

• Verify the alignment of PET/CT data prior to using them for RT TP.

• Implement a routine to visually or manually check the consistency

of the data when transferring the data from PET/CT to the TPS.

• Establish a routine workflow for communication of diagnostic

findings and pre-defined tumor volumes between PET/CT and

radiation oncology departments.
