A Safe and Practical Cycle for Team-Based Development and Implementation of In-House Clinical Software
2022, Advances in Radiation OncologyCitation Excerpt :In this work, we describe our development and implementation cycle for the safe use of in-house developed clinical software. In the Methods and Materials section, we report on how the cycle was modified from its initial development in support of UMPlan, our in-house clinical TPS at the University of Michigan,19,20 and was then adapted to support use of other clinical software developed in house. We also report on aspects of the process that have supported the success of the cycle, including teamwork, defined roles, formal commissioning, hazard analysis (when appropriate), and an ongoing feedback loop tied to incident reporting.
Impact of complexity and computer control on errors in radiation therapy
2012, Annals of the ICRPCitation Excerpt :Dose distributions became highly conformal, and eventually allowed significant escalation of the dose to the target, while at the same time resulting in decreased normal tissue complications. Computer-controlled machines and multileaf collimators (MLCs) were introduced in part to deal with the significant increase in plan complexity that was associated with 3-D conformal therapy (Fraass et al., 1995a). A few years later, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was introduced.
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy: Current status and issues of interest
2001, International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology PhysicsCitation Excerpt :Although this is necessary and desirable, a poorly defined term can lead to a misunderstanding in reporting the clinical results and also in research and development. For example, various other descriptors have been used in the past in reference to IMRT, including generalized 3D-CRT, unconstrained 3D-CRT, and computer-controlled conformal RT (2, 4, 6–9). The IMRT Collaborative Working Group (CWG) supports the establishment of a consistent and clear nomenclature for use in IMRT.
