Treatment delivery system (TDS) is developed to help and guide the radiation therapist for his/her daily patient cancer treatment workflow. This project aims at integrating the delivery system with new generation of oncology information system (MOSAIQ) of IMPAC. This project provides patient data management and DICOM connectivity with MOSAIQ. This gives advantage for Siemens OCS to integrate MOSAIQ functionalities into the TDS treatment workflow.

This project developed a common platform for treatment delivery workspace and oncologist workspace. This gives the flexibility to configure the same application as therapist or Oncologist workspace based on licenses and configurations. This gives a seamless advantage of providing feature of oncologist workspace on TDS. This project gives a flexibility of providing extra features on both the workspaces without extra implementation cost. This platform reduced the cost of maintenance of the system. This has provided the scope for extending the platform to support other workspaces. This project developed a common platform for treatment delivery workspace and oncologist workspace.
