The term Big Data has come to encompass a number of concepts and uses within medicine. This paper lays out the relevance and application of large collections of data in the radiation oncology community. We describe the potential importance and uses in clinical practice. The important concepts are then described and how they have been or could be implemented are discussed. Impediments to progress in the collection and use of sufficient quantities of data are also described. Finally, recommendations for how the community can move forward to achieve the potential of big data in radiation oncology are provided.
大数据一词在医学领域已经涵盖了多个概念和用途。本文阐述了大数据在放射肿瘤学界的相关性和应用。我们描述了其在临床实践中的潜在重要性和用途。接着介绍了重要概念,讨论了它们已经或可以如何实施。还描述了在收集和使用足够数量的数据方面进展的障碍。最后,为放射肿瘤学界如何共同努力实现大数据的潜力提供了建议。
