Abstract

Purpose: In radiation oncology, the integration and registration of multiple imaging modalities is a crucial aspect of the diagnosis and treatment planning process. These images are often inherently registered, a useful feature in most cases, but possibly a hindrance when registration modifications are required. To break this registration requires expert knowledge of file structure or specialized software, posing challenges, and potential errors in accidentally or unnecessarily changing other attributes. Barring these changes, the clinic would have to make do with imprecise registrations which compound overall treatment uncertainty. To address these issues, we present a novel tool designed to simplify the task of changing three often edited attributes: the frame of reference, the series instance unique identifier (UID), and the SOP instance UID. The tool features an intuitive user interface that empowers practitioners, regardless of their expertise, to effortlessly modify these three commonly edited values.

Validation methods: Publicly available brain MRI and TCI lung 4DCT images were used to evaluate the software. The ability to change the frame of reference, series instance identifier, and SOP instance identifier using the program was evaluated with both the RayStation treatment planning system and MIM.

Software format and usage notes: The program is written in C#, easily distributed via GitHub and is compatible with any Windows computer with .NET 4.8 (the standard as of 2023).

Potential applications: This innovation holds promise for improving the overall workflow efficiency and safety within radiation oncology and radiology, where breaking the frame of reference or changing the series/SOP UIDs is a common occurrence.

DICOM属性操作工具:轻松更改参考框架、系列实例和SOP实例UID。
目的:在放射肿瘤学中,多种影像模式的整合和登记是诊断和治疗计划过程的关键方面。这些图像通常是固有注册的,这在大多数情况下是一个有用的特性,但在需要修改注册时可能会成为障碍。要打破这种注册需要具有文件结构的专业知识或专门的软件,这会带来挑战,并且在意外或不必要地更改其他属性时可能出现错误。除非有这些改变,否则诊所将不得不接受不精确的登记,这加剧了整体治疗的不确定性。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了一种新的工具,旨在简化更改三个经常被编辑的属性的任务:参考框架、系列实例唯一标识符(UID)和SOP实例UID。该工具的特点是一个直观的用户界面,使从业人员,无论他们的专业知识如何,都可以毫不费力地修改这三个常用的编辑值。验证方法:使用公开可用的脑MRI和TCI肺4DCT图像对软件进行评估。使用RayStation处理计划系统和MIM评估了该程序改变参考框架、系列实例标识符和SOP实例标识符的能力。软件格式和使用说明:该程序是用c#编写的,很容易通过GitHub发布,并且与任何带有。net 4.8(2023年的标准)的Windows计算机兼容。潜在应用:这项创新有望提高放射肿瘤学和放射学的整体工作流程效率和安全性,在这些领域,打破参考框架或更改系列/SOP uid是常见的情况。

期刊介绍: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics is an international Open Access publication dedicated to clinical medical physics. JACMP welcomes original contributions dealing with all aspects of medical physics from scientists working in the clinical medical physics around the world. JACMP accepts only online submission. JACMP will publish: -Original Contributions: Peer-reviewed, investigations that represent new and significant contributions to the field. Recommended word count: up to 7500. -Review Articles: Reviews of major areas or sub-areas in the field of clinical medical physics. These articles may be of any length and are peer reviewed. -Technical Notes: These should be no longer than 3000 words, including key references. -Letters to the Editor: Comments on papers published in JACMP or on any other matters of interest to clinical medical physics. These should not be more than 1250 (including the literature) and their publication is only based on the decision of the editor, who occasionally asks experts on the merit of the contents. -Book Reviews: The editorial office solicits Book Reviews. -Announcements of Forthcoming Meetings: The Editor may provide notice of forthcoming meetings, course offerings, and other events relevant to clinical medical physics. -Parallel Opposed Editorial: We welcome topics relevant to clinical practice and medical physics profession. The contents can be controversial debate or opposed aspects of an issue. One author argues for the position and the other against. Each side of the debate contains an opening statement up to 800 words, followed by a rebuttal up to 500 words. Readers interested in participating in this series should contact the moderator with a proposed title and a short description of the topic
