Despite the widespread use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for approximately a decade, a lack of adequate guidelines for documenting these treatments persists. Proper IMRT treatment documentation is necessary for accurate reconstruction of prior treatments when a patient presents with a marginal recurrence. This is especially crucial when the follow-up care is managed at a second treatment facility not involved in the initial IMRT treatment. To address this issue, an American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) workgroup within the American ASTRO Radiation Physics Committee was formed at the request of the ASTRO Research Council to develop a set of recommendations for documenting IMRT treatments. This document provides a set of comprehensive recommendations for documenting IMRT treatments, as well as image-guidance procedures, with example forms provided.
尽管调强放射治疗(IMRT)已广泛应用约十年,但仍缺乏记录这些治疗的适当指南。当患者出现边缘复发时,准确重建先前治疗需要恰当的IMRT治疗记录。当后续护理在未参与初始IMRT治疗的第二家治疗机构进行时,这一点尤为关键。为解决这一问题,应美国放射肿瘤学会(ASTRO)研究委员会的要求,在美国ASTRO放射物理委员会内成立了一个工作组,以制定一套记录IMRT治疗的建议。本文档提供了一套记录IMRT治疗以及图像引导程序的全面建议,并提供了示例表格。
