Data Collection Timeline

Carli, Benjamin and Cory are all working together on their research project. Here are the roles
of each group member:

Carli: Leader, Data Collection

Ben: Leader, Data Analysis
Cory: Writer

The group decided to do a case study on a new planning tool for 20 patients. Currently, they are
in middle of week 14 and are completing the timeline as they progress in the research. During
week 12, one of the patients did not meet criteria and was excluded from study. Also, the group
simplified the study by limiting only the heart and PTV for dose evaluations.
