How is dose per fraction captured in Radiant for a course?

Dose per fraction is the amount of radiation delivered in each treatment session, and it, together with the number of fractions, defines the course. In Radiant, this information is recorded in the Prescription/Fractionation section of the Treatment Plan. This is where the planned prescription is set, so the per-fraction dose and the total number of fractions can be used to calculate the total dose and guide plan evaluation and QA. The other areas—On-Treatment Visit notes, Billing, and Imaging study lists—serve purposes like documenting visits, billing codes, or imaging studies, and do not define the treatment prescription.
