Reflecting the increased importance of the collaborations between
radiation oncology and informatics professionals, Informatics in
Radiation Oncology discusses the benefits of applying informatics
principles to the processes within radiotherapy. It explores how
treatment and imaging information is represented, stored, and
retrieved as well as how this information relates to other patient
data. The book deepens your knowledge of current and emerging
information technology and informatics principles applied to
radiation oncology so that all the data gathered-from laboratory
results to medical images-can be fully exploited to make treatments
more effective and processes more efficient. After introducing the
basics of informatics and its connection to radiation oncology, the
book examines the process of healthcare delivery in radiation
oncology, the challenges of managing images in radiotherapy, and
the burgeoning field of radiogenomics. It then presents teaching,
clinical trials, and research tools and describes open access
clinical imaging archives in radiotherapy, techniques for
maximizing information from multimodality imaging, and the roles of
images in treatment planning. It also looks at how informatics can
improve treatment planning, the safety and efficiency of delivery
systems, image-guided patient positioning, and patient assessment.
The book concludes with discussions on how outcomes modeling
evaluates the effectiveness of treatments, how quality control
informatics improves the reliability of processes, and how to
perform quality assurance on the informatics tools. With
contributions from a host of top international experts in radiation
oncology, medical physics, and informatics, this book leads the way
in moving the field forward. It encourages you to find new ways of
applying informatics to radiation oncology and help your patients
in their fight against cancer.
