I'm assuming the commonly referenced dosage of 70gy implies the cumulative dosage administered during this plan to the primary target areas. Is that what your documents show, that 70gy is the max or is that some sort of average where some areas might be subjected to more than that amount for some sessions of the plan?
Do you think there is output from the planning software that could be put on a disc to view visually like the CT and PET series?
It would be unbelievable if it could do 3d rotation showing the targeted dosing and contouring and also show the changes from session to session. Putting all that on a disc would be quite a feat. I know from the CT/PET series it made the network and poor PC in the doctor office choke for breath.
It was hopeless running the imaging programs from the disc I got. Copying it all to the hard drive and running from there worked much faster. Still, on a high end PC it still took a few to get rolling. LOTS of data.
