Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Oncological Information Systems (OIS) store radiotherapy (RT) data.
  • Database limitations restrict OIS data use in external applications.
  • Manual data preparation is time-consuming and inefficient.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a tool for automatic data extraction, cleaning, and formatting from OIS.
  • To enable the use of RT data in various external applications.
  • To improve the efficiency of OIS data preparation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized OIS data from a Swedish RT department (70 weeks).
  • Developed a C# tool for data extraction, cleaning, and formatting.
  • Employed Excel-automation queries and descriptive statistics for data verification.

Main Results:

  • Processed data included patient referrals and RT appointments.
  • Automated dataset closely matched manually prepared data (<1% to ±5% difference).
  • Automated preparation reduced data preparation time from weeks to seconds.

Conclusions:

  • Successfully implemented a software tool for OIS data preparation.
  • The tool enables ready-to-use OIS datasets for external applications.
  • Automated strategy significantly reduces manual data preparation time.
