Article Synopsis
- Peer review is crucial for quality assurance in radiation therapy, especially in low-middle-income countries (LMIC), where there is a growing need to maintain care standards with advanced technologies.
- A pilot study conducted in four cancer centers in India evaluated a cloud-based e-Peer review system, where healthcare team members were trained to review treatment cases weekly, focusing on key clinical aspects.
- Over three months, 100 cases were reviewed, resulting in various changes being suggested, with contouring errors being the primary reason for major revisions, demonstrating the feasibility and importance of peer review in improving treatment quality before therapy starts.
Purpose/objective S: Due to manual OAR contouring challenges, various automatic contouring solutions have been introduced. Historically, common clinical auto-segmentation algorithms used were atlas-based, which required maintaining a library of self-made contours. Searching the collection was computationally intensive and could take several minutes to complete.

This is the first multi-institutional study to describe and evaluate an artificial intelligence algorithm for autosegmentation of the pelvic nodal region by gender.
Methods And Materials: We retrospectively evaluated AASH pelvic nodal autosegmentation in both male and female patients treated at our network of institutions.
A procedure for periodic quality assurance of a video surface imaging system is introduced. AlignRT is a video camera-based patient localization system that captures and compares images of a patient's topography to a DICOM-formatted external contour, then calculates shifts required to accurately reposition the patient. This technical note describes the tools and methods implemented in our department to verify correct and accurate operation of the AlignRT hardware and software components.
