Automated daily dose accumulation workflow for treatment quality assurance during online adaptive radiotherapy with a 0.35T MR-linac.

Purpose: This study assesses a novel, automated dose accumulation process during MR-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) for prostate cancer, focusing on inter-fractional anatomical changes and discrepancies between delivered and planned doses.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on seven prostate cancer patients treated with a five-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), using a 0.35T MRIdian MR-LINAC system.

Optimization of treatment workflow for 0.35T MR-Linac system.

Purpose: This study presents a novel and comprehensive framework for evaluating magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) workflow by integrating the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) approach with Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC). We assess the workflow for safety, quality, and economic implications, providing a holistic understanding of the MRgRT implementation. The aim is to offer valuable insights to healthcare practitioners and administrators, facilitating informed decision-making regarding the 0.
