“…Beam directions, weights, and shapes were initially manually optimized and transferred to the treatment machine via paperbased workflows, but soon, the increased data flow required automated information management. Establishing of standards for data structuring such as Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) and managing the clinical information network by an oncology information system (OIS) have enabled development of integrated informationdriven workflows as discussed by Swerdloff (2007), , and . With the development of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the number of free parameters to be optimized during treatment planning exceeded what possibly could be handled by manual methods leading to extensive research of optimization methods (see, e.g., the reviews by Censor and Unkelbach (2012), Grégoire and Mackie (2011), and Ahnesjö et al (2006)).…”

“…75 MB und für ein Conebeam-CT zwischen 75 MB (rekonstruierter CTDatensatz) und 1-2 GB (Rohdatensatz für Forschungszwecke, typischerweise zwar nicht in Standardformaten aber idealerweise ebenfalls in der vorhandenen redundanten/sicheren Umgebung zu speichern). Planare Bilddaten und DICOMObjekte fallen demgegenüber kaum ins Gewicht [20].…”

Application-centered image management provides access to image data including all relevant RT-specific elements. This approach, however, is not migration-safe, requires significant administrative work to ensure a redundancy level that protects against data loss and does not provide datasets that are linked to respective therapeutic interventions. Therefore, centralized image management and archiving that links images to patients and individual steps in the treatment pathway within a standardized DICOM(-RT) environment is preferable despite occasional problems with visualization of specific data elements.

“…Fluoroscopic video can be used to verify that the extent of motion prior to treatment is consistent with previous assessment, and conebeam CT provides detailed information on the locations of both the tumor and normal structural variations in three dimensions. The acquisition of multiple images creates a problem in image management, as discussed elsewhere [49].…”

Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is in the midst of a strong development and implementation cycle, stimulated by pioneering work performed in Japan. We present a review of the rationale, technology, and methodology of image guidance, as well as an overview of current work in IGRT at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The technology is rapidly evolving, and synergisms between the various acquisition approaches are converging to provide unparalleled information on target and normal tissue location and motion. With these new approaches to patient localization, we expect improved clinical results to be forthcoming.
