Timeline : Previous Development Cycles
Roadmap
The Radiation Oncology Roadmap will outline goals and plans over the next 5-10 years.
Current Activity
The IHE-RO Technical Committee has published the following profile for Public Comment:
-Dose Compositing
For this profile, the term Dose Compositng is used to denote the process of combining information from two spatially-related 3-D dose (matrices) [represented as DICOM RT Dose objects]. Two use cases are supported by this profile. The first use case (Registered Dose Compositor) involves accepting two dose instances and a spatial registration instance and combining the spatially-registered doses to produce a new dose instance. The second use case (Compositing Planner) involves accepting a (prior) dose instance and a spatial registration instance and creating a new treatment plan and dose instance(s) based on the prior dose.
These Supplements can be found at

IHE Sponsors welcome comments on this document and the IHE initiative. They should be directed to the discussion server at http://forums.rsna.org or to:
Director of Research American Society for Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) 8280 Willow Oaks Corporate Drive, Suite 500 Fairfax, VA 22031 ihero@astro.org
Comments will be accepted on this supplement until February 26, 2010.
Use Case Selection
Please read the Profile_Proposal_Process to understand the process for specifying, prioritizing and selecting profiles. Edit the following table to include new pages (using the above format) and use the Brief_Proposal_Template to create new Use Cases. The Detailed_Proposal_Template can be used later to provide full details. A high level Radiotherapy Process map provides a context for developing Use cases.
COMPLETED Use Cases and their Integration Profiles
Year Introduced | Use Case | RFP Text | Year Finished |
---|---|---|---|
2005 | Simple treatment planning use case (NTPL-S) illustrates basic functionality for transferring data between treatment planning systems. See [NTPL-S] Normal Treatment Planning-Simple | NTPL-S RFP | 2007 |
