With the advancement of data-intensive technologies, such as image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the amount and complexity of data to be transferred between clinical subsystems have increased beyond the reach of manual checking. As a result, unintended treatment deviations (e.g., dose errors) may occur if the treatment system is not closely monitored by a comprehensive data transfer quality management program (QM). This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from the task group (TG) on quality assurance (QA) of external beam treatment data transfer (TG-201), with the aim to assist medical physicists in designing their own data transfer QM. As a background, a section of this report describes various models of data flow (distributed data repositories and single data base systems) and general data test characteristics (data integrity, interpretation, and consistency). Recommended tests are suggested based on the collective experience of TG-201 members. These tests are for the acceptance of, commissioning of, and upgrades to subsystems that store and/or modify clinical treatment data. As treatment complexity continues to evolve, we will need to do and know more about ensuring the quality of data transfers. The report concludes with the recommendation to move toward data transfer open standards compatibility and to develop tools that automate data transfer QA.

美国医学物理学家协会201任务组报告:外照射治疗数据传输的质量管理

随着图像引导放射治疗 (IGRT) 和调强放射治疗 (IMRT) 等数据密集型技术的进步,临床子系统之间传输的数据量和复杂性已经超出了人工检查的范围。因此,如果治疗系统没有受到全面的数据传输质量管理程序 (QM) 的密切监控,则可能会出现意外的治疗偏差(例如,剂量错误)。本报告总结了工作组 (TG) 关于外束治疗数据传输 (TG-201) 质量保证 (QA) 的发现和建议,旨在帮助医学物理学家设计自己的数据传输 QM。作为背景,本报告的一部分描述了数据流的各种模型(分布式数据存储库和单一数据库系统)和一般数据测试特征(数据完整性、解释和一致性)。推荐的测试是根据 TG-201 成员的集体经验建议的。这些测试用于接受、调试和升级存储和/或修改临床治疗数据的子系统。随着治疗复杂性的不断发展,我们将需要更多地了解并确保数据传输的质量。报告最后建议转向数据传输开放标准兼容性,并开发自动化数据传输 QA 的工具。推荐的测试是根据 TG-201 成员的集体经验建议的。这些测试用于接受、调试和升级存储和/或修改临床治疗数据的子系统。随着治疗复杂性的不断发展,我们将需要更多地了解并确保数据传输的质量。报告最后建议转向数据传输开放标准兼容性,并开发自动化数据传输 QA 的工具。推荐的测试是根据 TG-201 成员的集体经验建议的。这些测试用于接受、调试和升级存储和/或修改临床治疗数据的子系统。随着治疗复杂性的不断发展,我们将需要更多地了解并确保数据传输的质量。报告最后建议转向数据传输开放标准兼容性,并开发自动化数据传输 QA 的工具。
