Evaluation of a clinically intuitive quality assurance method
There is a pressing need for clinically intuitive quality assurance methods that report metrics of relevance to the likely impact on tumor control of normal tissue injury. This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the accuracy of a novel "transform method" which enables a clinically relevant analysis through dose-volume-histograms (DVHs) and dose overlays on the patient's CT data. Th...
متن کاملQuality Assurance Tradeoff Analysis Method (QATAM) An Empirical Quality Assurance Planning and Evaluation Framework
The selection and design of quality assurance (QA) methods for software development projects a) involves tradeoffs that are not always made explicit and b) the impacts of the selection decisions on project success and risks may be not well understood. Similar to SEI’s ATAM analysis technique for software architecture quality and risk evaluation, this paper introduces the ideas for QATAM, a tech...
متن کاملCriteria mapping: a method of quality assurance.
Criteria mapping is a flexible and responsive method of chart audit that allows the simultaneous assessment of both the process and the outcome of care by means of health record abstraction. This method of audit is particularly suited to occupational therapy because it includes branching to reflect the sequential judgments of therapists and does not penalize the clinician for omitting unnecessa...
متن کاملEvaluation of a 2D diode array for IMRT quality assurance.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The QA of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) dosimetry is a laborious task. The goal of this work is to evaluate the dosimetric characteristics of a new 2D diode array (MapCheck from Sun Nuclear Corporation, Melbourne, Florida) and assess the role it can play in routine IMRT QA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fundamental properties of the MapCheck such as reproducibility, li...
