What is Initiation of a teleradiotherapeutic network for patients in German lymphoma studies about?
Purpose: Deviations of radiation treatment portals and dose from prospective treatment plans are unfavorable prognostic factors for lymphoma patients. Therefore, an extensive radiotherapy quality assurance program is used in the ongoing German lymphoma studies. The introduction of teleradiotherapy offered the opportunity to optimize and simplify the workflow of these quality assurance programs. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the feasibility of teleradiotherapy and to describe our experiences with these innovative tools. Methods and Materials: During this pilot phase, five radiotherapy centers were equipped with the hardware and software that guarantees a rapid and high-quality transfer of imaging data, as well as real-time teleconferences. The workstation consists of standard PCs with Windows NT as the operating system and the commercial telemedicine software Hipax. Results: As a first step, imaging communication between the radiotherapy reference centers in Cologne and Homburg/Saar was established. Subsequently, three additional radiotherapy departments (Universities of Berlin, Mu ̈nster, and Munich) with large numbers of lymphoma patients were connected. Other study
