Hey SGRT Community,
This is a question primarily for physicists. I would like to know how users of AlignRT/OSMS perform ongoing QA of SGRT treatments. A previous institution I worked for had the C-RAD Catalyst system. One nice thing about this system is that you could install a client version of the software on your desktop computer and review of the treatment history for all of your patients. You could see a snapshot of the surface alignment and a full record of the patient position during treatment. During my weekly chart checks, I reviewed the data from the previous week in the C-RAD client software and occasionally identified opportunities to adjust or improve the use of the system.
I would love to perform this sort of off-line weekly QA with OSMS/AlignRT, but I do not believe the software supports this sort of review and evaluation at this time. In lieu of this, I make regular trips to the machine to ask the therapists how things are going and occasionally tag along for treatments, but this is impossible to do for every treatment.
I'd like to know how other users of OSMS/AlignRT perform patient-specific QA? Have you found a way to perform similar tasks on the OSMS/AlignRT workstation itself? Have you developed custom software for this purpose?
