ATLAS Graphical User Interface
QA/Therapist Screen
- The primary user interface for ATLAS consists of the “QA” screen, also
referred to as the therapist screen.
- The QA/Therapist screen contains a calendar and a dynamic list of QA
tests that is updated to reflect only the tests scheduled for the day
selected.
- Typical tests are flatness, symmetry, and output of the treatment
delivery system.
- Each test is based on a template that has been selected or created by
the physicist or ATLAS Administrator.
- All scheduled tests also include specific setup instructions for the
test.
- To begin the test schedule, one simply clicks “START”, and the
automated ATLAS software prompts the user to take the necessary action.
- Once the data is collected or input, it is analyzed and results are
instantly conveyed to the user for acceptance into the database.
- Once the user accepts, the next test begins.
Trend/Physics Screens
The Trend and Physics screen is used to analyze historical data
including the emergence of trends.
- Select only the tests and date ranges that are the focus of inquiry.
- Compare trend data among different objects (i.e. different Linacs).
- Print custom reports for auditing purposes, including directly to PDF®
if desired.
ATLAS Database
ATLAS uses a sophisticated database designed for maximum flexibility and
security.
- Nearly all data written to ATLAS is editable.
- The database includes change history to track what changes were made.
- “Flags” may be used to identify and add comments to trend data points.
- An ATLAS database administrator controls access privileges to the
database.
- Electronic signatures are attached to all activities.
