Organizational layout of the general guidelines for standard treatment naming for a radiation oncology clinic. The general guidelines for standard treatment naming for a radiation oncology clinic adheres to an organizational structure which mimics the treatment planning workflow. A short preamble is first presented (not illustrated here) describing the appropriate format for the naming of anatomical structures (described first because this format will propagate throughout the following sections). Next is described the format for naming of the treatment course. This is followed by the physician's intent (or prescription) to which a treatment plan will be generated which will utilize treatment fields. Thus, each subsequent step may be considered to be a subset of the previous step.
