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.

Alternatively, when a dosimetrist picks up a case, he/she can "flip" the QCL item to their individual staff QCL, then you know all the cases left on the Dosimetry QCL are not assigned yet.
 
We use our staff QCLs as our worklist for new and boost plans.

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.

I did two patients. But the plans are very ugly. We prescribe to 92%. The dose is very hot inside. I believe it is over 120%. I can't use those strange the beam orientations since my machine (Elketa prohit all those couch kick position). Looks like it is not beam orientations related after I tried the different beam orientations position. My suggestion is just use all beams with 20 degree interval since no optimization beam to avoid the hippcampus.

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!

I think the 0933 just required the PTV DVH D98% >=25Gy, D2%<= 37.5 Gy.
D90 >= 30Gy. The other OARs requirements are easy to reach with VMAT.

The problem is D102%<=37.5Gy. It is hard to achieve this with the hippcampel<17Gy.

I think you need change the weight to push pinnacle to go through the
local optimization to another one. I just give you an example for
optimization. TX trial is VMAT.

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

My experience is that we don't need so many couch kick as publised. Just normal gantry angle with 9 beams is ok to achieve the RTOG requirements.

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, 276/161
