 ====== Importing Patient Data ======
-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.
+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 login (If you have already logged into Astroid start at step 6)
+  - Open the Astroid Launcher and launch the Planning App from your realm
-  - Select 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 |}}
-  - A list of available apps will be listed on the right, select //Planning// from this
+  - Select the CT image set from the list of available files for import
-  - If you see an Install button click it and wait for the version to install. You will know it is installed when you see a LAUNCH button
+  - Ensure that the MRN is correct
-  - Click the LAUNCH button. The version of planning that is installed in your realm will now open
-  - Click on the Imports {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:imports.png?300 |}}
-  - Select the CT image set from the list of available files for import {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:data_selection.png |}}
-  - Ensure that the MR is correct
-    - If MR needs to be changed you may edit it by choosing the //Edit// button to the left {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:edit_import.png?300 |}}
   - Click the //Create Patient// button to start the import process {{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:pro_patient_select_2.png?300 |}}
-  - In the control pane on the left hand side, the image snapshot will be automatically selected based on the structure set DICOM UID information.
+  - Ensure that the date and time displayed in Astroid matched the current date and time in the current Windows OS.
-  - Fill in the Patient Intent information and select the appropriate HU to RSP curve (as shown below) {{ :planning:userguide:walkthroughs:strucutures_2.png?300 |}}
+  - 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
-  - You will see a list of the imported structures. Here you may choose whether or not to import each structure by checking or unchecking the box beside each structure name.
+  - Select the appropriate HU to RSP curve (as shown below) {{ :planning:userguide:tutorials:rsp_data.png?300 |}}
-  - You also have the ability to assign or edit any structures that are shown as //custom//, which indicates the name did not exactly match a directive structure from the treatment site template list you specified during patient creation.
+  - 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)
-    - Matched, Assigned, and Custom structures are designated with corresponding tags at the end of the structure name in the structure list.
+    - The structures associated with the data set will be seen in a list of the available structures
-    - Assigning a custom structure to a defined directive structure will result in the imported structure inheriting all the predefined structure properties (e.g. name, type, color)
+    - Here you may choose whether or not to import each structure by checking or unchecking the box beside each structure name
-    - For all custom structures the type is by default set to "Other" unless it contains the letters "TV" (as in PTV or CTV), in which case it is assigned the type of "Target"; this may be changed here if needed
+    - Matched, Assigned, and Custom structures are designated with corresponding tags at the end of the structure name in the structure list
-  -  Click the "Create Patient" button to create the patient and import the CT Images and Structures into it.
+      - 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
-  - The patient is now created and all available data has been imported, so it is time to proceed with entering the prescription information
+      - 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
-  - Click on the //Back to Import// button
+      - 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.
