  • Publication number: 20130304503
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a planner with the opportunity to effect local improvement of an IMRT treatment plan which is available to him. To this end, a method for customizing a dose distribution setting for a technical appliance in tumor therapy is proposed. A first plan (10) is read from a data memory (100). The first plan (10) for dose distribution in a plan volume (Z) is presented on a presentation device (110), the reason for this being the possibility of setting the technical appliance for tumor therapy to dispense the set dose distribution to a patient. The presentation is made for the purpose of changing the first plan (10) in at least one degree of fineness (10a) specific in terms of volume and for producing or ascertaining a causal follow-up plan for the setting on the technical appliance for tumor therapy.

  • Patent number: 5975326
    Abstract: In a waste container for containing noxious materials, wherein the container is provided with a double lid structure having an inner lid by which the container can be closed and which has a head by which the inner lid can be grasped for engagement with the outer lid which is part of a containment to which the container is attached for the transfer of noxious materials, the container consists of planar wall sections which are disposed at an angle with respect to one another such that the container has a polygonal shape whereby such containers can be stored closely adjacent one another and the container has a corresponding polygonal opening and has a lid which is also polygonal like the container.
