Time requirements in conformal radiotherapy treatment planning
1Abteilung für Klinische Radiologie, Radiologische Klinik, Heidelberg, Germany.
Abstract:
To investigate the influence of implementing three-dimensional treatment planning on staffing needs, valid questionnaire responses from 22 radiotherapy institutions have been evaluated. Average time requirements per plan rise from 213 to 439 min upon implementation, but with experience decrease to 317 min. No institution reports additional staff positions according to estimated requirements.
