Abstract:
Objective To develop a network management system for tumor radiotherapy information that integrates process management and quality assurance functions, and to investigate its clinical value. Methods Based on the requirements of radiotherapy process quality assurance and control, the client-server ( C-S) pattern, along with SQL SERVER 2008 database structure, international standard DICOM 3.0, DICOM RT, and HL7 protocols, and system hardware and self-developed software in local area network, was adopted to establish the network management system for radiotherapy information, and clinical tests were performed to evaluate the operation performance of this platform.Results ( 1 ) The interactive integrated management platform and client-side functional modules with a uniform interface were developed.( 2) The safe and reliable standardized data interface was developed, which could be connected to accelerators, treatment planning systems, and hospital information systems developed by mainstream manufacturers.( 3) The modules for radiotherapy process management and quality assurance and management were designed and developed.( 4) The platform passed all the tests before operation and had been used in clinical departments for almost 3 years, which confirmed that the system was safe and stable during operation and that all functions designed were realized.Conclusions The integrated management platform meets the requirements for application and management of radiotherapy information and data, improves the overall work efficiency in radiotherapy department and the level of quality assurance and control, and holds promise for clinical application as a good tool for tumor radiotherapy departments.
