Is there an invite link? Something akin to the "yahoo groups invite" option,

A "default mail with link" with an inbuilt introduction and summary about ISOCENTRE; which could be sent to some of my contacts to invite them to this site and contribute?

May be you can start discussion on various site wise toxicity issues. Everyone can share there knowledge and learn from each other.

  1. We are not the most knowledgeable ROs on the planet
  2. We cant devote all our time to isocentre.

At the present most of posting is done by a handful of people. Unless young ROs like you contribute this group cant flourish.

i think as treating and the cure is important, so is the toxicity. there is a lot coming up in literature for that both in terms of acute and late toxicity. different scales, management strategy, local dose acceptances and practices, dvh correlations (especially in world of image guidance) Quantac…..
may be when we discuss any site the end note should seriously include where we stand in these parameters-like what we know, what is assumed and what more is to be searched/researched.

So far the suggestions have been:

  1. Basic topics of radiobiology
  2. Treatment planning related topics
  3. Target delineation
  4. Reirradiation

Please keep the suggestions coming. These are the lifeblood of any community

I would love to see a comprehensive discussion about re-irradiation topic. When , up to how much…?

Thanks,

1) The ICRU prescription can be discussed separately and so can the delineation guidelines. You can start off a thread elsewhere under relevant headings.

2) You can have pdf/ppt presentations; sign up for any of the web site like docstoc/scribd/slideshare. You can upload the pdf/ppt on anyone of them and link here. It would be accessible to all and can foster discussion accordingly.

3) As for the basic/advanced, of what I know of being here for the past few months, everything is accorded equal importance. If you feel that there is anything that needs to be discussed, feel free to post!

Ultimately it is your participation across board. Welcome and happy new year!

Brachytherapy , various types of applications , breast implants , icrt i.e mostly the practical issues we encounter in our day to day practice, and basic questions of radiobiology like one question is disturbing me is why -5% and +7% of prescpition dose coverage is considered acceptable by ICRU . we are all concerned about checking 95% coverage but from where this 95% concept came? I mean what is the radiobiological experiment that evolved this value? If we want participations from JRs i think we should also discuss these basic things and most importantly delineation issues ,different departmental protocols ( as we know it varies ).Case discussion is good thing but mostly we discuss about rare conditions , and from the feedback i got from one of my juniors is we need to cover the most common topics also. There is one disadvantage of this is that the quality of the forum may deteriorate .In that case we can have separate categories for comparatively basic topics and advanced one . We may do it in a group and someone of us can start discussing planning of head& neck and others will add on that . We can use figures to explain , in a way we will be able to cover all the sites. I am not talking about the theory but only the treatment planning , mainly simulation and plan evaluation.Can we have ppt or pdf presentations ?

All posts on the forum and the webpage will directly appear on Twitter @isocentre. For now only new page notifications will be available as limited by wikidot

For those who are unaware, there is a feed icon on the address bar of the browser. If you click on that, you would get a feed in your feed reader. There is an excellent resource for those who are not aware of this: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet/basics/rss.htm

This means that you would get site wise notification of the same immediately as soon as something is posted. This would also help you to track the developments in real time.

As for others, I had discussed this with Santam through email.

This can get a bit technical, so apologies. Facebook and Twitter accounts utilize OAuth authentication which means that users would no longer need to register themselves through Wikidot. Although there is no issue with current system but it is "isolated".

A separate Twitter stream can be issued; there are lot of Radiation Oncologists who maintain Twitter profiles. I think (I am not sure) that it's possible to update Twitter automatically as soon as something is posted here through RSS. This would help to keep the feeds fresh and be more discoverable. As for Facebook page, if most of the members have a FB profile, it would be easier to connect the two accounts together.

There is another Twitter like service called as identi.ca which can also be integrated.

And yes, I had suggested some changes to main form like V Bulletin like format which makes it very easy to integrate the existing systems. I'd just look around Wikidot to see whether it's feasible or not.
