Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein to provide a user-interface to visualize and control a beam request panel for requesting allocation of usage of a shared therapy beam. The user interface allows a user to visualize a beam request queue, to request the shared therapy beam for treatment, to estimate when a beam request will be fulfilled, and to cancel a beam request if needed.

14. A method for implementing an integrated beam-request interface, the method comprising:
-
receiving, as input, a user actuation in a beam request interface of an integrated beam-request panel, the user actuation comprising a first request for usage of a shared treatment beam; determining a priority corresponding to the first request for usage of the shared treatment beam among a plurality of requests for usage of the shared treatment beam; appending the first request to a position in a beam queue comprising the plurality of requests for usage of the shared treatment beam based on the priority of the first request; generating a visualization of the beam queue; displaying the visualization of the beam queue in a display panel of the integrated beam-request panel; and allocating usage of the shared treatment beam according to the beam queue, wherein the integrated beam-request panel comprises a first instance of a plurality of instances of the integrated beam-request panel executed on a plurality of computing devices in a plurality of treatment rooms. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
