Abstract

Radiotherapy departments are increasingly reliant on networked computers to co-ordinate all aspects of radiotherapy treatment such as treatment planning, verification or simulation. This paper suggests three relatively inexpensive strategies that can be applied to file servers within such networks. If they are implemented, the additional resilience of the network will increase the number of clinically available hours as most common hardware problems can be scheduled for repair outside routine clinical use.
