1. A method in a computing system for guiding performance of a process relating to a patient localization and tracking system, comprising:
- displaying a user interface in a first state corresponding to a first process task in an ordered sequence of process tasks;
performing the first process task, wherein performing the first process task includes confirming a position of a localization sensor relative to a treatment location;
each time one of the process tasks to which a displayed state of the user interface corresponds is completed, automatically redisplaying the user interface in a state corresponding to a process task following a completed one of the process tasks to which the displayed state of the user interface corresponds;
performing a second process task in the ordered sequence of process tasks after automatically redisplaying the user interface, wherein performing the second process task includes confirming locations of magnetic transponders implanted in a patient; and
performing a third process task in the ordered sequence of process tasks after automatically redisplaying the user interface and confirming that the first and second process tasks have been completed, wherein performing the third process task includes tracking real-time locations of the magnetic transponders via the localization sensor and relative to the treatment location during delivery of radiation therapy.

Abstract
A facility for presenting a visual user interface for guiding the performance of a process relating to a patient localization and tracking system is described. The facility displays the user interface in a first state that corresponds to a first process task in an ordered sequence of process tasks. Each time the process task to which the displayed state of the user interface corresponds is completed, the facility redisplays the user interface in a state corresponding to a process task following the process task to which the displayed state of the user interface corresponds.

8. A computing system for guiding performance of a radiation therapy session, comprising:
-
a display that displays a user interface in a first state corresponding to a first radiation therapy session task in an ordered sequence of radiation therapy session tasks; a display updater that, each time the radiation therapy session task to which a displayed state of the user interface corresponds is completed, redisplays the user interface in a state corresponding to a radiation therapy session task following the radiation therapy session task to which the displayed state of the user interface corresponds; and a patient localization and tracking system configured to perform the first radiation therapy session task, perform a second radiation therapy session task in the ordered sequence of process tasks after automatically redisplaying the user interface, and perform a third radiation therapy session task in the ordered sequence of process tasks after redisplaying the user interface and completing the first and second radiation therapy tasks, wherein the first radiation therapy task includes confirming a position of a localization sensor relative to a treatment location, wherein the second radiation therapy task includes confirming locations of magnetic transponders implanted in a patient, and the third radiation therapy task includes tracking real-time locations of the magnetic transponders via the localization sensor and relative to the treatment location during delivery of radiation therapy. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium whose contents cause a computing system to perform a method for guiding performance of a process relating to a patient localization and tracking system, comprising:
-
displaying a user interface in a first state corresponding to a first process task in an ordered sequence of process tasks; each time one of the process tasks to which a displayed state of the user interface corresponds is completed, automatically redisplaying the user interface in a state corresponding to a process task following a completed one of the process tasks to which the displayed state of the user interface corresponds, wherein the re-displaying includes displaying the user interface in a second state corresponding to a second process task, and displaying the user interface in a third state corresponding to a third second process task; and performing the first process task, the second process task, and the third process task, wherein the performing includes performing the third process task, after the first and second process tasks are completed, wherein performing the first process task includes confirming a position of a localization sensor relative to a treatment location, performing the second process task includes confirming locations of magnetic transponders implanted in a patient, and the third process task includes tracking real-time locations of the magnetic transponders via the localization sensor and relative to the treatment location during delivery of radiation therapy. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
