IHE Radiation Oncology
IHE Radiation Oncology, http://www.ihe.net/radiation_oncology/ or http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Radiation_Oncology, was formed in 2004 to address issues of interoperability and information sharing that impact the quality of care in radiation oncology. It has developed and documented standards-based solutions to these problems and organized testing and education to foster their adoption. IHE-RO solutions are now available in many of the commercial radiation oncology-related treatment planning, delivery, and information systems, and are implemented in cancer care sites around the world.
IHE Radiation Oncology Profiles
IHE Radiation Oncology integration profiles include:
- Normal Treatment Planning-Simple (NTPL-S) illustrates flow of treatment planning data from CT to Dose Review for basic treatments.
- Multimodality Registration for Radiation Oncology (MMR-RO) shows how radiation oncology treatment planning systems integrate PET and MRI data into the contouring and dose review process.
- RT Treatment Workflow(TRWF) integrates daily imaging with radiation therapy treatments using workflow.
- add links for each profile name once the profile webpages are completed
Radiation Oncology Planning and Technical Committees
The IHE Radiation Oncology Planning and Technical Committees are responsible for developing IHE integration profiles and planning deployment activities, such as testing events and educational programs, in the domain of radiation oncology. The committees are composed of users and developers of radiation oncology planning, delivery, and information systems. The membership of these and other IHE domain committees, along with schedules of activities, meeting agendas and minutes and working documents can be found on the IHE Wiki at http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Committees. An overall timeline for the committees' annual activities is available at http://wiki.ihe.net/index.php?title=Radiation_Oncology. Each Domain Planning Committee is responsible for:
- Maintaining the the Domain Webpage on the Wiki and periodically migrating the Wiki list to the Web
- Reviewing and updating the list of Profiles (as new Profiles are added in Trial Implementation or Final Text)
