Roadmap
The Radiation Oncology Roadmap will outline goals and plans over the next 5-10 years.
Current Activity
As of March, 2008, work was underway to develop documents for an ISO submission for IHE-RO domain by April 18, 2008. Click http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=IHERO_ISO_Documentation to access the 5 draft documents and instructions for preparing them.
During the months of February and March, 2008, IHE-RO elected/appointed representatives to IHE committees.
See IHERO Election of Representatives.
IHE Radiation Oncology held its first formal Connectathon (August 27-31, 2007, ASTRO HQ, Fairfax, VA) and subsequent Public Demonstration (October 28- November 1, 2007, Los Angeles, CA).
The following Supplements were released for Public Comment on August 20, 2007.
The Public Comment period ended on November 2, 2007. Comments may be submitted to: http://forums.rsna.org under the “IHE” forum. Select the “Radiation Oncology Technical Framework” sub-forum.
