This trial will utilize TRIAD for dosimetry digital treatment data submission. TRIAD is the American College of Radiology’s (ACR) image exchange application and it is used by the RTOG. See here for information on installing TRIAD.
Please fill out the credentialing status inquiry form to let us know that you would like to be credentialed for this protocol.
The photon-only arm of this trial is closed to accrual.
In order to complete the IMRT credentialing process the following items must be completed:
• All participants are asked to complete the Facility Questionnaire.
• Irradiate the IROC Houston's H&N phantom. Please fill in the request form online.
In order to complete the Proton credentialing process, the following items must be completed:
• All participants must have completed baseline approval for proton therapy.
• All participants are asked to complete the Facility Questionnaire.
• Irradiate the IROC Houston's brain phantom. Please fill in the request form online.
• Complete the BN001 Knowledge Assessment. Please note, the knowledge assessment is only required for PROTON institution.
In order to complete the scanner qualification for Advanced Imaging, the following items must be submitted for qualification review for each scanner to be used:
• DWI imaging per protocol using DWI phantom (Appendix I of Manual)
• DWI imaging per protocol in vivo (Appendix I of Manual)
• First “preload” DSC perfusion series using ¼ standard dose contrast agent (approx. 3 minutes, per protocol)
• Second DSC perfusion series using ¾ standard dose contrast agent (approx. 3 minutes, per protocol)
