Workflow management system, radiotherapy system, and workflow management method

A radiotherapy system comprising:

• an imaging apparatus that images a predetermined region of a patient including a target;
• a radiation irradiation device for irradiating the target with radiation;
• and
• a CPU configured to:
• execute a plurality of processes to execute a radiotherapy according to a predetermined workflow, the plurality of processes including at least a first process and a second process, and
• execute in parallel:
• display a result of a first calculation based on a patient image captured during a treatment by the imaging apparatus that captures a predetermined region of a patient, and request an input from an operator, and
• execute a second calculation based on the patient image during the treatment.

A workflow management method executed by one or more CPUs that execute a plurality of processes to execute a radiotherapy according to a predetermined workflow, wherein the plurality of processes includes at least a first process and a second process, the workflow management method comprising:

• executing in parallel:
• displaying, in the first process, a result of a first calculation based on a patient image captured during a treatment by an imaging apparatus that captures a predetermined region of a patient, and requesting an input from an operator;
• and
• executing, in the second process, a second calculation based on the patient image during the treatment.

A workflow management system that executes a plurality of processes to execute a radiotherapy according to a predetermined workflow, the workflow management system comprising:

• a first CPU, configured to:
• execute at least a first process and a second process of the plurality of processes, the first process including requesting an operator to perform a determination process of a calculation process and a result of the calculation process,
• execute, in the first process, a calculation process based on a patient image that captured a predetermined region of a patient before an irradiation, and
• execute, in the second process, a calculation process based on the result of the calculation process of the first process during an execution of the determination process.
