Set the weekdays only option (WDO=)
XBRT: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:
    XBRT: WDO={option to treatment over weekend (yes or no)}
Example:
    XBRT: WDO=Y   !fractions delivered on weekdays
    XBRT: WDO=N   !fractions delivered on weekdays and over the weekend (7 days/week)


Purpose: Set a flag to indicate whether fractions are delivered over the weekend.  WDO=y means deliver on fraction only on weekdays.  WDO=n means treat over the weekend (7 days per week).
.Data Type: character (Y or N)
Unit:
n/a
Default: Y (weekdays only)
Comments:  The baseline radiation treatment scenario is defined by the number of treatment days (NTD) and the size of each daily fraction (TD4F).  The temporal pattern of radiation deliver can be modified using the optional parameters WDO and TMX.  Use the FDT or DFDM: keyword to specify details related to fraction delivery.  The total treatment dose (TTD) parameter can be used to automatically adjust the size of the daily dose fractions to increase or decrease the total treatment dose while preserving the overall temporal pattern of radiation delivery.
