Reference:Philips manual in Pinnacle treatment planning
Choice A:Electron plans only.
Choice B:3D conformal plans only.
Choice C:Step and shoot IMRT plans only.
Choice D:VMAT IMRT plans only.
Choice E:Step-shoot and VMAT IMRT plans.
Question 2: What is the advantage of auto-planning?
Reference:Philips manual in Pinnacle treatment planning
Choice A:To improve work efficiency.
Choice B:To keep consistency in planning process.
Choice C:To replace dosimetrists entirely.
Choice D:To improve plan quality, efficiency, and consistency.
Choice E:To learn from previous planning techniques.
Question 3: Which answer below includes most features of the auto-planning process.
Reference:Philips manual in Pinnacle treatment planning
Choice A:To create models based on previous plans.
Choice B:To create multiple tuning structures automatically .
Choice C:To create optimization objectives automatically.
Choice D:To run optimization multiple times.
Choice E:(b, (c), and (d)
Question 4: Which statement below summaries common features of knowledge-based planning and auto-planning?
Reference:Philips manual in Pinnacle treatment planning
Choice A:Only knowledge-based planning propagates knowledge from experts’ planning .
Choice B:There is no common feature between the two methods.
Choice C:Only knowledge-based planning requires building a new model.
Choice D:Auto-planning is the same as the conventional IMRT planning.
Choice E:Both methods can improve plan quality, consistency, and efficiency.
Question 5: MCO trade-off values should be:
Reference:RayStation User’s Manual
Choice A:Set to the target goal for the treatment plan.
Choice B:Set to an ideal/best case scenario. (ex. 0 Gy to an OAR)
Choice C:Set to the same values as the constraints
Question 6: What types of treatment plans can be created using the current version of MCO in the RayStation?
Reference:RayStation User’s Manual
Choice A:A Electron plans only.
Choice B:3D conformal plans only.
Choice C:IMRT plans, including Step and shoot and VMAT plans only.
Choice D:Proton PBS plans.
Choice E:All of the above.
