Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Area of Science:

Medical Physics
Radiation Oncology
Radiotherapy Technology

Context:

Advancements in accelerators with on-board imaging systems enable image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT).
IGRT enhances the accuracy of target volume repositioning during irradiation.
These technological improvements increase the workload for radiotherapy professionals.

Purpose:

To explore the feasibility of task transfer in image-guided radiotherapy.
To address the increased time demands on radiation oncologists and technicians due to IGRT.
To investigate potential solutions for managing IGRT-related workflow challenges.

Summary:

IGRT allows for precise target volume adjustments during treatment using on-board imaging.
The implementation of IGRT has led to increased tasks and treatment times for healthcare professionals.
Institutional experiments suggest that radiation oncologists can transfer on-line image positioning verification to radiotherapy technicians.
Developing clear protocols and initial training is crucial for this task transfer.

Impact:

Optimizing radiotherapy workflows by redistributing tasks among professionals.
Improving the quality and consistency of IGRT procedures through standardized training.
Reducing interindividual variability in image positioning verification.
Potentially enhancing overall efficiency in radiotherapy delivery.
