Figure 5.4 Patient setup screen
The gender should be selected, indicated by a color change. Furthermore, the patient’s length,
weight and age can be chosen by the sliders on the right hand side of the screen. I.e. the age
can be set between 10 and 100 years and weight can be set between 40 and 150 kg.
Pop-up screens (Figure 5.5) appear to set the date of birth (right top corner). The age
(at actual date) will adjust automatically to match the date of birth, not vice versa. The values
can be changed by sliding the sliders left or right, or by using the arrow keys.
