Integrating the healthcare enterprise in radiation oncology plug and play--the future of radiation oncology?
PURPOSE To describe the processes and benefits of the integrating healthcare enterprises in radiation oncology (IHE-RO). METHODS The IHE-RO process includes five basic steps. The first step is to identify common interoperability issues encountered in radiation treatment planning and the delivery process. IHE-RO committees partner with vendors to develop solutions (integration profiles) to int...

متن کاملHazards and risks in oncology: radiation oncology
Adverse effects and hazards which have their origin from radiation using conventional techniques like 3-D conformal radiotherapy and total radiation doses are well known. However little is known about the sprectum of especially late toxicity after radiation using new technologies like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with novel target volume and dose concepts. Since IMRT allows ...
متن کاملRadiation Oncology
Objective: Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is an exciting new technique with the potential to improve radiotherapy treatment by reducing dose to normal structures and increasing dose to the cancer. The objective was to investigate the potential value of IMRT in the treatment of sarcoma. To compare normal tissue sparing and treatment volume coverage for both three dimensional conformal (...
متن کاملAdvances in radiation oncology.
Advances in radiation oncology have been made on three major fronts: biology, physics, and clinical application. Our biological understanding of how radiation kills cells and how malignant cells avoid damage has identified new targets for therapeutic manipulation. Research in physics has yielded sophisticated methods to direct the deposition of radiation energy in ways that enhance target cover...
