Why we need to know all trials you want to participate in RTQA updates the CTSU RSS credentialing attributes Submit a new or updated Facility Questionnaire (FQ) Link located in Section 5 then on ATC website (select protocols, RTOG, Then trial #)
Once received, our Data Assistant(Tammy McGlade) will contact the RA & physicist listed on the FQ stating what is needed or send a letter via email that your site can enroll Once Tammy has sent the letter she updates the CTMS (RSS) database
IGRTImage Guided Radiation Therapy What is it? IGRT is NOT a treatment modality. IGRT are methods used to ensure patient positioning is maintained during treatment. There are several different methods of IGRT for example: CBCT, KV orthogs
IGRTinformation • See section 5 of the protocol for specific details for the link to protocol specific requirements • Some trials require credentialing ONLY if you plan to treat with reduced margins (5mm or less PTV expansion) • Where as some trials require IGRT cred to accrue on the trial
IGRT • Each method your site plans to use for that trials needs to be credentialed • It is disease site specific • It is specific to a RTOG site. Each Therapy department is required to be credentialed for the protocol. Even if you have multiple sites that have the same physics, TPS and equipment they each have to credential for IGRT. You cannot submit the same data set for different locations.
