Remote Access to Radiotherapy Treatment Planning Information : Demand Analysis and Prototype Implementation
نویسنده
چکیده
planning systems (RTPS) is generally used for patient planning only, but it also contains enormous quantities of valuable information regarding patient anatomic geometries, tissue outlining, treatment approaches and dose distribution. Attempts on implementing a Web-based digital archiving system (DAS) in order to provide immediate access to the treatment planning information were described in this article. The DAS served as a universally virtual printer for diverse RTPS, and it could transparently intercept print job and archive them into its database automatically. These treatment planning images such as dose distribution images, dose volume histograms (DVHs), and digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) in the DAS were registered to the Apache Web server by Coppermine photo gallery, and were made available for authorized users to search and browse using a simple Web browser. This prototype allowed for rapid review and remote comparison of treatment plans efficiently and conveniently.

BACKGROUND Identifying those patients who have a higher chance to be cured with fewer side effects by particle beam therapy than by state-of-the-art photon therapy is essential to guarantee a fair and sufficient access to specialized radiotherapy. The individualized identification requires initiatives by particle as well as non-particle radiotherapy centers to form networks, to establish proced...

We constructed a remote radiation planning support system between Kyushu University Hospital (KUH) in Fukuoka and Kyushu University Beppu Hospital (KBH) in Oita. Between two institutions, radiology information system for radiotherapy division (RT-RIS) and radiation planning system (RTPS) were connected by virtual private network (VPN). This system enables the radiation oncologists at KUH to per...
متن کاملComparing the results of 3D treatment planning and practical dosimetry in craniospinal radiotherapy using Rando phantom
Background: Craniospinal radiotherapy faces technical challenges which are due to the sensitivity of the location in which the gross tumor is, and to organs at risk around planning target volume. Using modern treatment planning systems causes a reduction in the complexities of the treatment techniques. The most effective method to assess the dosimetric accuracy and the validity of the ...
