Interactive Radiotherapy Planning for Students (IRPS)

IRPS is an interactive, on-line training system for radiotherapy staff, students and trainee doctors in the uses of radiotherapy. The development was led by Dr. John Conway and Dr. Stephen Tozer-Loft of the Radiotherapy Physics Department at Weston Park Hospital , Sheffield . IRPS fills the gap of current radiotherapy training systems by showing how isodose distributions are produced and tests the users’ grasp of what has been learned with interactive exercises without users requiring access to expensive clinical planning systems or any peripherals.
