Abstract

Quality assurance has long been implemented in radiation treatment as systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that the radiation oncology service will satisfy the given requirements for quality care. The existing reports from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Groups 40 and 53 have provided highly detailed QA guidelines for conventional radiotherapy and treatment planning. However, advanced treatment processes recently developed with emerging high technology have introduced new QA requirements that have not been addressed previously in the conventional QA program. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the existing QA guidelines to also include new considerations. Image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART) is a closed-loop treatment process that is designed to include the individual treatment information, such as patient-specific anatomic variation and delivered dose assessed during the therapy course in treatment evaluation and planning optimization. Clinical implementation of IGART requires high levels of automation in image acquisition, registration, segmentation, treatment dose construction, and adaptive planning optimization, which brings new challenges to the conventional QA program. In this article, clinical QA procedures for IGART are outlined. The discussion focuses on the dynamic or four-dimensional aspects of the IGART process, avoiding overlap with conventional QA guidelines.

摘要

长期以来,质量保证在放射治疗中一直作为系统性行动加以实施,这些行动是为了提供足够的信心,确保放射肿瘤学服务能够满足既定的优质护理要求。美国医学物理学家协会第40和53任务组的现有报告为传统放射治疗和治疗计划提供了高度详细的质量保证指南。然而,最近随着新兴高科技发展起来的先进治疗流程引入了新的质量保证要求,而这些要求在传统质量保证计划中此前并未涉及。因此,有必要扩展现有的质量保证指南,使其也包括新的考量因素。图像引导自适应放射治疗(IGART)是一种闭环治疗流程,旨在将个体治疗信息纳入其中,例如患者特定的解剖变异以及在治疗过程中评估的已交付剂量,用于治疗评估和计划优化。IGART的临床实施需要在图像采集、配准、分割、治疗剂量构建以及自适应计划优化方面具备高度自动化,这给传统质量保证计划带来了新的挑战。本文概述了IGART的临床质量保证程序。讨论聚焦于IGART流程的动态或四维方面,并避免与传统质量保证指南产生重叠。
