Abstract:
Introducing a Quality Assurance methodology appears particularly useful in Radiation Oncology due to the complexity of the procedures involved and the heterogeneity of the standards adopted, if any, in the great majority of the Centers. There are two possible ways of evaluating quality in the Health Environment: a formal, Institutional certification, or a voluntary one obtained through a mechanism of peer review. The European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) started in 1994 with the publication of a methodological Report intended to be adopted by the individual national Societies, and this paper is an invitation to do it.

Abstract:
Abstract LINAC is a radiotherapy instrument used to kill tumor and cancer cells in patients. To guarantee the quality of LINAC instruments, QA (Quality Assurance) is needed and to prove the quality assurance there is a need for QC (Quality Control). This is done also aims to examine and test data to determine standards and check the suitability of products to achieve maximum manufacturing operations or measures taken, namely to assess, maintain or improve the quality of treatment given. The role of medical physicists is very important because only medical physicists carry out the implementation of quality assurance of radiotherapy instruments.

Abstract:
Quality assurance (QA) in radiation oncology involves all checks and processes that ensure that radiotherapy is delivered in an optimal and intended manner. QA is essential for the accurate delivery of brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy in patients diagnosed with gynecologic malignancies. Inadequate QA can adversely impact clinical outcomes and reduce the reliability of clinical trials. This review highlights the importance of QA in gynecologic radiation oncology and explores the pertinent issues related to its implementation.

Abstract:
Abstract The complexity of generating radiotherapy treatments demands a rigorous quality assurance (QA) process to ensure patient safety and to avoid clinically significant errors. Machine learning classifiers have been explored to augment the scope and efficiency of the traditional radiotherapy treatment planning QA process. However, one important gap in relying on classifiers for QA of radiotherapy treatment plans is the lack of understanding behind a specific classifier prediction. We develop explanation methods to understand the decisions of two automated QA classifiers: (1) a region of interest (ROI) segmentation/labeling classifier, and (2) a treatment plan acceptance classifier. For each classifier, a local interpretable model-agnostic explanation (LIME) framework and a novel adaption of team-based Shapley values framework are constructed. We test these methods in datasets for two radiotherapy treatment sites (prostate and breast), and demonstrate the importance of evaluating QA classifiers using interpretable machine learning approaches. We additionally develop a notion of explanation consistency to assess classifier performance. Our explanation method allows for easy visualization and human expert assessment of classifier decisions in radiotherapy QA. Notably, we find that our team-based Shapley approach is more consistent than LIME. The ability to explain and validate automated decision-making is critical in medical treatments. This analysis allows us to conclude that both QA classifiers are moderately trustworthy and can be used to confirm expert decisions, though the current QA classifiers should not be viewed as a replacement for the human QA process.

Abstract:
50 Background: PIVOTALBoost is a Phase III randomised controlled trial (CRUK/16/018) of radiotherapy to prostate and pelvic nodes versus prostate alone with or without prostate boost. To minimise impact of target volume delineation (TVD) variation on trial outcome, pre-trial radiotherapy quality assurance (RTQA) was implemented to identify and correct potential variations. Methods: Participating centres offering a prostate boost submitted two pre-accrual outlining benchmark cases: one with a central zone boost (GTVpb) only and another with GTVpb (peripheral zone), CTVp/psv and CTVn. A detailed outlining protocol and diagnostic information were provided to centres. Submitted outlines were compared to consensus volumes created by the trial management group (TMG). The TMG deemed the volumes acceptable or as having acceptable or unacceptable variation. Detailed feedback was provided for each submission. Unacceptable variations required resubmission. Results: 32 investigators submitted pre-trial outlines. GTVpb was the most incorrectly outlined volume; 22 (69%) outliners had unacceptable errors for case 2 GTVpb, 17 (53%) for case 1 GTVpb. Most common GTVpb error was inferior extent of lesion followed by incorrect lesion outlined. 12 (38%) of outliners had unacceptable errors for CTVp/psv, most commonly due to delineation at the prostate apex. 8 (25%) outliners had unacceptable CTVn mostly due to incorrect vessel delineation. Of 26 (81%) outliners required to resubmit at least 1 case, 3(12%) required a second resubmission due to unacceptable errors on first resubmission. Conclusions: The majority of pre-trial outlining submissions had unacceptable errors requiring resubmission of at least one case. This was predominantly due to boost delineation error which is a relatively new skill for prostate clinical oncologists in the UK. This suggests robust on-trial RTQA is imperative to minimise further variation. Clinical trial information: ISRCTN80146950.

Abstract:
Aims and background With the introduction of more complex three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques in clinical practice, the use of record-and-verify systems is recommended to improve the accuracy of radiotherapy treatments. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, for a commercial record-and-verify system, the efficiency, integration with the treatment planning system, and impact of manual checking of data. The most frequent errors or misses were also evaluated. Materials and methods The development of internal protocols to systematically implement new technologies has been identified as a priority in the departmental quality assurance process. Data electronically fed into the record-and-verify system were compared with those manually recorded in the clinical paper chart over a period of almost 6 years (October 2000 to December 2006). A total of 7768 treated patients was reviewed. The check was performed by using a homemade data base in which the errors are stratified as follows: 1) general section, 2) geometric and dosimetric section, and 3) delivered dose section. Results On a total of 7768 checked patients, one or more mismatches between treatment planning system data and record-and-verify system data or paper chart data were observed for 452 patients (5.8% of total number of inspected patients). The percentage of discrepancies out of the total was: 2.2% in the general section, 3.3% in the dosimetric and geometric section, and 4.2% in the delivered-dose section. Conclusions Although record-and-verify systems assume a crucial role in the accuracy and reproducibility of radiation treatment, their inability to eradicate all the errors requires vigilance on the part of the radiation therapy and physics team.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, we developed a film-type perovskite dosimeter that can be used as a radiotherapy quality assurance (QA) dosimeter while replacing the existing semiconductor dosimeter. Dosimeter performance was evaluated by reproducibility, linearity, dose rate dependence, and percentage depth dose (PDD). In terms of reproducibility, the relative standard deviation (RSD) at 6 MV and 15 MV energy were 1.058% and 1.003%, respectively. As a result of linearity, a coefficient of determination of 0.9999 was presented at 6 MV and 15 MV energies. In terms of dose rate dependence evaluation, the RSD was 1.242% and 0.628% at 6 MV and 15 MV energies, respectively. As for PDD measurement, the result of matching the Dmax point was obtained. Our analysis confirms that the perovskite film dosimeter made of CsPbBr3 was suitable for use as a QA dosimeter in radiotherapy.

The role of informatics in radiotherapy planning concerns dose calculation, dose distribution and quality assurance. Software research has recently developed to obtain 3-dimensional planning of treated volume and to reach more homogeneous dose distribution within radiation target volume. To increase therapeutic effectiveness, lower local relapses and reduce treatment sequelae, several quality assurance systems are being used, such as portal image analysis which allows an immediate comparison with the simulation film. Such procedures are carried out through informatics and need state-of-the-art computed systems, dedicated radiological devices and highly qualified teams as well.
