The role of imaging in radiotherapy is becoming increasingly important. Verification of imaging parameters prior to treatment planning is essential for safe and effective clinical practice.
This study described the development and clinical implementation of ImageCompliance, an automated, GUI-based script designed to verify and enforce correct CT and MRI parameters during radiotherapy planning.
Since its deployment, ImageCompliance has processed more than 48,000 CT and MRI studies. The integration of the centralized database eliminated the need for manual uploads, reducing workflow inefficiencies. The multi-tier warning system facilitated timely identification of deviations from protocol, thereby supporting clinical decision-making and ensuring protocol adherence.
The clinical implementation of ImageCompliance safeguards geometric and dosimetric accuracy, informs margin selection, and enhances governance over imaging protocols. It represents an effective strategy for the verification of CT/MRI imaging protocol compliance for radiotherapy.
成像在放射治疗中的作用日益重要。在治疗计划前对成像参数进行验证对于安全有效的临床实践至关重要。
本研究描述了ImageCompliance的开发及临床应用，这是一个基于图形用户界面的自动化脚本，旨在在放射治疗计划期间验证并强制使用正确的CT和MRI参数。
自部署以来，ImageCompliance已处理了超过48000例CT和MRI检查。集中式数据库的整合消除了手动上传的需求，减少了工作流程的低效率。多层警告系统有助于及时识别与协议的偏差，从而支持临床决策并确保协议的遵守。
ImageCompliance的临床应用保障了几何和剂量准确性，为边缘选择提供依据，并加强了对成像协议的管理。它是验证放射治疗CT/MRI成像协议合规性的有效策略。
