Quality assurance of equipment in Radiation Oncology is required by government regulations, accrediting organizations and standards of medical practice. Recording results by hand in a log book or in a spreadsheet limits ones ability to analyze results over time for a single treatment device and prevents analysis of multiple devices collectively. This prohibits true quality assurance which requires action on data to prevent malfunction or failure. Argus will develop documentation in Phase I according to ANSI/IEEE Standards in order to successfully code and test QA management software in Phase II. The result will be a viable commercial product in Phase TIT that is a user-customizable relational database that automates test documentation, analysis, data recording, and report writing for treatment and simulation equipment in Radiation Oncology. It will improve patient care quality by increasing the probability that patients receive their prescribed treatment and will improve the consistency and efficiency of monitoring of physics data for clinical trials. In addition, Argus will systematically apply its knowledge toward the design, development and production of improved prototypes that will provide the documentation templates and engineering platform for QA management software in other specialties, such as diagnostic radiology. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: With this class of software, there are potential commercial applications throughout both Radiation Oncology and Radiology departments. This includes quality assurance software for linear accelerators, brachytherapy, as well as QA databases for automating clinical trials. The sale of over 30 copies of the prototype module demonstrates that there is demand.

辐射肿瘤学中设备的质量保证是需要的 政府法规，认证组织和标准 医疗实践。 通过日志或在 电子表格限制了一个人可以随着时间的推移分析结果的能力 处理设备并防止对多个设备进行分析。 这禁止真正的质量保证，这需要对数据采取行动 防止故障或失败。 Argus将在阶段制定文档 我按照ANSI/IEEE标准成功进行编码和测试 QA管理软件在第二阶段。 结果将是一个可行的 阶段的商业产品是一种可使用用户的关系 自动化测试文档，分析，数据记录和 报告辐射中的治疗和模拟设备的撰写 肿瘤学。 它将通过提高患者护理质量 患者接受处方治疗的可能性，将 提高监测物理数据的一致性和效率 临床试验。 此外，Argus将系统地将其知识应用于 设计，开发和生产改进的原型 为质量保证提供文档模板和工程平台 其他专业的管理软件，例如诊断放射学。 拟议的商业应用程序：使用此类软件，有 整个辐射肿瘤学和 放射学部门。这包括用于质量保证软件 线性加速器，近距离放射治疗以及QA数据库 自动化临床试验。出售30多份原型 模块证明有需求。
