Where is the treatment prescription and fractionation stored within a treatment plan?

The dose prescription and how it is fractionated are defined in the Treatment Plan's Prescription section. This part stores the total dose to deliver, the dose per fraction, and the number of fractions, which together establish the plan’s dosing intent and schedule. Having these values in one place provides a clear, authoritative reference for dose calculations, plan QA, and consistent delivery. The imaging module houses localization and anatomy data, On-Treatment Visit notes capture what happened during treatment days, and the Billing section handles charges, not dosing details. So the Prescription area of the Treatment Plan is where the treatment’s dosing parameters belong.
