Hi All,
Our company is considering consolidating our 5 Dosimetry QCL’s (one for each of our 5 centers) into one central list so that we can all work together more efficiently. I am told that many companies are doing this now, so if anyone out there has any advice to help make this a smooth transition I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Lori

We have what we call a Global-Dosimetry QCL. All dosimetry items from our 3 centers are assigned to this list. The dosimetrists place their initials in the comment line when they pick up the case. If the case isn’t picked up within 24 hours it will get assigned to someone depending on their current workload.
We have 2 dosimetrists in one location and 1 at each of the other 2 sites.

Angela’s method looks like a good one to track which dosimetrist is taking a plan. A related question:
We’ve seen examples of an “electronic white board” for the purpose of tracking all patients through sim/planning/startup process, but they were separate systems outside of Mosaiq. Does anyone have a good way to do this using multiple QCL’s, and display it in a user friendly way? It suppose it could be done with a Crystal report that would display a list of patients and selected QCL’s, their status and who is responsible. It would be nice if there was a patient clinical status of “Planning” (in addition to New, On Tx and Complete) that could identify these patients.
Has anyone done something along these lines?
I did talk to Mosaiq, and it sounds like there are some new QCL features coming in 2.5 that will help.

Is it RTOG 0933?We got accepted by RTOG 0933 - A PHASE II OF HIPPOCAMPAL AVOIDANCE DURING WHOLE BRAIN RADIATION. I did three patients so far for this Protocol. I tried different beam angles but it seems the recommended one with couch kick got best results. Since need to control Hipocampus D100% < 9 Gy, Dmax <= 16 Gy, plan is hotter than normal and need more MUs for treatment (9 beams and between 1500 mu to 2000 mu). It seems uggly but patient performs well after the treatment. See attachment for dose distribution.
Have a nice day!Shaomin ZhangCMDAbington Memorial Hospital, PA

Hi Group,
I can’t find any mention is the RTOG 0933 protocol of the patient’s head position for immobilization? It seems to me that the very specific suggested couch kick and gantry angles become slightly meaningless without also having a standard head position stated (say flexed with baseline vertical, or neutral). Section 6.3.1 is bit short on detail here.
If anyone has managed to meet the Protocol DVH objectives they might want to also share this in their results.
Regards
Mark Sanders
You have to change accordingly based on your machine. When I followed the protocal angels, for examlpe for Siemens ARTISTE, I changed beam angles to couch/gantry: 320/30, 30/310, 30/265, 315/180, 344/49, 344/137, 350/104, 90/319, 276/161Shaomin
