 ====== Importing Patient Data ======
+Now that a patient has been uploaded from DICOM, the Planning App should recognize that new patient files are available to import into a Planning patient.
+  - Open the Astroid Launcher and launch the Planning App from your realm
+  - Once Astroid Planning starts, click on the Imports Block in the task control pane on the left side {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:imports.png?300 |}}
+  - Select the CT image set from the list of available files for import
+  - Ensure that the MRN is correct
+  - Click the //Create Patient// button to start the import process {{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:pro_patient_select_2.png?300 |}}
+  - Ensure that the date and time displayed in Astroid matched the current date and time in the current Windows OS.
+  - Fill in the requested Patient Intent, taking care to select the appropriate //Treatment Site// as this selection contains the template information that will be used during structure set import
+  - Select the appropriate HU to RSP curve (as shown below) {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:rsp_data.png?300 |}}
+  - The corresponding structure set (SS) file to import with these images will automatically be selected. The structures will show up below the Patient Data box in the Import structures box (note that the available choices will be automatically filtered based on the structure set DICOM UID information)
+    - The structures associated with the data set will be seen in a list of the available structures
+    - Here you may choose whether or not to import each structure by checking or unchecking the box beside each structure name
+    - Matched, Assigned, and Custom structures are designated with corresponding tags at the end of the structure name in the structure list
+      - You may only edit structures that are shown as //Custom//, which indicates the name did not exactly match a course structure from the //Treatment Site// template selected above
+      - For all custom structures, the type is by default set to the value from the DICOM file. If there is no type specified in the DICOM file the type will be set to "Other", unless it contains the letters "TV" (as in PTV or CTV), in which case it is assigned the type of "Target"; the type may be changed here if needed
+      - Alternatively you may //Assign// a //Custom// structure to a course level template structure using the provided drop down menu (this is useful when structure names contain typos or contour names otherwise do not match your standard site protocols)
+        - Assigning a custom structure to a defined course structure will result in the imported structure inheriting all the predefined structure properties (e.g. name, type, color) {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:import_structure_info.png?300 |}}
+  - Once all structures have been selected, assigned, and edited as needed, click the //Import// button to create the patient and import the CT Images and Structures into it
+  - The patient is now created and all available data has been imported
+  - Click on the //Back to Import// button to return back to the //Imports// task
+===== Structures in the Data Model =====
+There are multiple levels that various structures can live at. Each level and structure type will effect how the structure will relate to the plan. Refer to the [[planning:userguide:tutorials:all_tutorials#structure_data_model|Structure Data Model Guide]] for more details.
-Now that a patient has been uploaded from DICOM to thinknode ISS and an RKS entry created, the Planning App should recognize that a new patient is available to import into a Planning patient.
-  - Go to the Imports page. Here you have the ability to search for patients to import by MRN, Name or Gender.
-  - Select the CT data set you would like to import by selecting the row for the CT Image Set of the desired patient.
-  - Once you have highlighted the patient name you may edit the MRN if needed in the DICOM Information window by selecting the edit button by the MRN number. Once edited hit save to save your changes.
-  - When ready to import the patient into the Astroid TPS select the blue "Create New Patient" button in the patient information window <WRAP center>{{  :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import1.png?500 |}}</WRAP>
-  - You will then need to click on the orange Import CT Images button <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import2.png?200 |}}</WRAP>
-  - A message will pop up acknowledging the CT Images have been imported  <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import3.png?200 |}}</WRAP>
-  - Select the orange back to "Back to Imports" button in order to import any structures associated with the chosen CT Data set
-  - Select the structure set associated with the imported CT Images. Again at this time you make any edits to the MRN that are needed. As in the CT Image import select the blue "Import into patient" button in the patient information window <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import4.png?500 |}}</WRAP>
-  - On the left hand side open the Import Structure block. <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import5.png?200 |}}</WRAP>
-  - You will see a list of structures that have been contoured on the image set. Here you may choose to delete (not importing it) the structure hitting the x beside the structure name.
-  - Simply expand the collapsed structure to edit and you will be given choices such as assigning that structure as the patient structure by clicking the blue "Assign Patient Structure".
-  - You also have the ability to edit any custom structure that does not match the directive level structures defined in the site configuration. These custom structures are designated with an asterisk(*) at the end of the structure name in the structure list.
-    - You may chose to optionally assign a custom structure to a defined site structure. Doing so will result in the imported structure inheriting all the predefined structure properties (e.g. type, color).
-    - For a custom structure the type is by default set to "Other", but may be changed here at the import.
-  - Once you have all your structures customized as you would like click the orange "Import Structures" button <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import6.png?200 |}}</WRAP>
-  - After your structures are imported you may either choose to proceed to clicking "Open Patient" or you may import more patients by clicking "Back to Imports" <WRAP center>{{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:import_7.png?200 |}}</WRAP>
