Abstract

Disclosed herein are radiotherapy systems and methods that can display a workflow-oriented graphical user interface(s). In an embodiment, a system comprises a first display in communication with a server, the first display configured to display a first graphical user interface; a second display in communication with the server, the second display configured to display a second graphical user interface, wherein the server is configured to: present the first graphical user interface for displaying on the first display, wherein the first graphical user interface contains one or more pages corresponding to one or more stages of a radiotherapy treatment, wherein the server transitions from a first page of the one or more pages representing a first stage to a second page of the one or more pages representing a second stage responsive to an indication that at least a predetermined portion of tasks associated with the first stage has been satisfied.

Claims (28)

1. A system comprising:

a display in communication with a server, wherein the server is configured to present a graphical user interface on the display corresponding to a radiotherapy treatment session having a defined progression of a set of stages, the graphical user interface comprising:

a first page corresponding to a first stage of the radiotherapy treatment session, the first page displaying a first task corresponding to the first stage of the radiotherapy treatment session; and

a second page corresponding to a second stage of the radiotherapy treatment session the second page displaying a second task corresponding to the second stage of the radiotherapy treatment session that is subsequent to the first stage within the defined progression of the set of stages; and

automatically transition from the first page to the second page responsive to an indication that the first task has been at least partially satisfied.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a live feed of a radiotherapy machine.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with the display.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with a radiotherapy machine.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with a second display outside of a room that includes a radiotherapy machine associated with the radiotherapy treatment session.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the indication is received from a radiotherapy machine.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with alignment data of a patient.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with an attribute of a radiotherapy machine.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with an accessory for the radiotherapy treatment session.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display is connected to a radiotherapy machine.

11. A method comprising:

presenting, by a processor on a display, a graphical user interface corresponding to a radiotherapy treatment session having a defined progression of a set of stages, the graphical user interface comprising:

a first page corresponding to a first stage of the radiotherapy treatment session, the first page displaying a first task corresponding to the first stage of the radiotherapy treatment session; and

a second page corresponding to a second stage of the radiotherapy treatment session the second page displaying a second task corresponding to the second stage that is subsequent to the first stage within the defined progression of the set of stages; and

automatically transitioning, by the processor, from the first page to the second page responsive to an indication that the first task has been at least partially satisfied.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a live feed of a radiotherapy machine.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with the display.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with a radiotherapy machine.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received from a user interacting with a second display outside of a room that includes a radiotherapy machine associated with the radiotherapy treatment session.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the indication is received from a radiotherapy machine.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with alignment data of a patient.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with an attribute of a radiotherapy machine.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first page or the second page comprises a graphical indicator associated with an accessory for the radiotherapy treatment session.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the display is connected to a radiotherapy machine.
