Bookmarking Capability for Radiation Treatment Planning and Management

Abstract:

A control circuit operably couples to a memory having a plurality of different radiation treatment applications stored therein, a data store having patient data stored therein, and at least a first user interface comprising a first display and a first user input interface. The control circuit can be configured to present simultaneously, via the first display and for a given patient, at least two workspaces that each correspond to a different one of the radiation treatment applications wherein the workspaces are using patient data from the data store for the given patient. The control circuit can also be configured to present, via the user input interface, a bookmark capture opportunity, such that a user of the apparatus can selectively create a bookmark that captures a present state for both of the at least two workspaces and hence for the radiation treatment applications that correspond to the at least two workspaces.
