Quality assurance (QA) in radiation therapy needs updates for advanced techniques like image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART). This study outlines new clinical QA procedures to address IGART

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Radiotherapy QA

Background:

  • Conventional radiotherapy quality assurance (QA) guidelines exist but do not cover advanced technologies.
  • Emerging high-tech treatments necessitate expanded QA programs.
  • Image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART) presents unique QA challenges due to its complex, automated processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline clinical quality assurance (QA) procedures specifically for image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART).
  • To address the new QA requirements introduced by advanced, automated treatment processes in radiation oncology.
  • To focus on the dynamic aspects of IGART, complementing existing conventional QA guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Review and adaptation of existing quality assurance frameworks for radiation therapy.

  • Identification of new QA requirements specific to image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART).
  • Focus on the dynamic and four-dimensional aspects of IGART processes.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinical QA procedures for IGART are presented.
    • The dynamic nature of IGART necessitates specialized QA considerations beyond conventional methods.
    • Automation in IGART (image acquisition, registration, segmentation, dose construction, adaptive planning) requires tailored QA protocols.

    Conclusions:

    • Existing QA guidelines require expansion to incorporate image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART).
    • New QA procedures are essential to ensure the quality and safety of IGART treatments.
    • The focus on dynamic aspects of IGART addresses critical gaps in current radiation oncology QA.
