IHE Radiation Oncology addresses information sharing, workflow, and patient care in radiation oncology.
IHE Radiation Oncology is sponsored by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) and manages the Radiation Oncology Profiles and the Radiation Oncology Technical Framework.

Roadmap
The Radiation Oncology Roadmap will outline goals and plans over the next 5-10 years.
Current Activity
As of March, 2008, work is 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 is preparing for 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 will end 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.
Profile Selection
The process for specifying, prioritizing and selecting profiles is described here, and templates are available for a Brief_Proposal_Template and Detailed_Proposal_Template. Please use the discussion tab for each Use Case to suggest and discuss changes.
2007-8 Development Cycle
These Brief Profile Proposals were submitted for the 2007-8 Development Cycle:
The workitems selected by the Technical Committee for the 2007-8 Cycle:
- Multimodality Registration
- Treatment Delivery Workflow
2008-9 Development Cycle
During the PC meetings of August 28 and October 29, 2007, the following Brief Profile Proposals were identified and submitted for consideration in the 2008-9 Development Cycle. At the PC meeting of October 29, 2007 the profiles where discussed and placed in the following rank of importance for discussion with the TC meeting of October 31, 2007.
- Prescription Automation
- Transfer of Anatomy/Aperture Data for Localization
- User Authentication and Authorization
- Registration Data Transfer - may already be covered in a current profile.
- Radiotherapy Planning and Treatment Record
- This Use Case is the IHERO 'Holy Grail'.
- Break into smaller pieces, such as an Anonymization Use Case for Clinical Trials.
- This Use Case spawned the creation of a Planning Committee focus group on the data requirements of a Radiotherapy Electronic Patient Record.
After the TC meeting of October 31, 2007, the following Detailed Profiles were prepared:
- Detailed Profile1
- ...
Future Development Cycles
Please read the Profile_Proposal_Process, edit this section of the wiki to include new pages (using the above format) and use the Brief_Proposal_Template to create new Use Cases.
1. Proposed Workitem: Contour Structure Template Creation, Import, and Export
- Proposal Editor: Charles Able, MS
- Editor: C. Field
- Date: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Version: N/A (Wiki keeps history)
- Domain: Radiation Oncology
2. The Problem
Specific structure templates may be developed by cooperative oncology groups for certain protocols. Treatment planning systems need to be able to import the structure templates to allow for consistent evaluation of clinical data for national clinical trials.The need to import and export structure templates for patients being treated at multiple institutions using different platforms exists. Patients being transferred or receiving retreatment could benefit from the ability to import and export the structure template.
3. Key Use Case
a. A DICOM file containing a list of clinical structure names can be created in the treatment planning contouring workspace. Clinical structures can be contoured under each identifying structure name.b. A DICOM file containing a list of clinical structure names can be imported into the treatment planning contouring workspace. Clinical structures can be contoured under each identifying structure name.c. Using an existing treatment plan a structure template can be created from the structures defined in the treatment plan. The newly created structure template can be exported as a DICOM file.
4. Standards & Systems
Treatment planning system, record and verify system, virtual simulation system.
5. Discussion
This an ideal interoperability case for IHE-RO. It also promotes collaboration with clinical trials groups
