Best Claude prompts for Medical Dosimetrists

Given a patient's CT scan data, tumor location, and prescribed radiation dose, analyze the treatment plan and identify potential hotspots or underdosed areas. Consider the patient's anatomy, tumor biology, and nearby critical structures. Provide a detailed report on the plan's efficacy and suggest modifications to improve treatment outcomes. Assume a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator and a Eclipse treatment planning system.

Verify the accuracy of a radiation treatment plan by comparing the planned dose distribution with the delivered dose distribution. Use the patient's treatment records, including beam energies, angles, and monitor units, to calculate the actual dose delivered. Identify any discrepancies between the planned and delivered doses and provide recommendations for corrective actions. Consider the AAPM TG-51 protocol for reference dosimetry.

Review a proposed clinical trial protocol for a new radiation therapy technique, focusing on the dosimetry aspects. Evaluate the protocol's inclusion and exclusion criteria, treatment planning requirements, and dose escalation scheme. Identify potential biases or flaws in the protocol and suggest modifications to improve the trial's validity and patient safety. Assume a Phase II trial with a primary endpoint of local control and a secondary endpoint of overall survival.

Generate a comprehensive QA/QC checklist for a medical dosimetry department, covering aspects such as treatment planning, data management, and patient communication. Include items related to commissioning and validation of new equipment, software, and treatment techniques. Consider the AAPM and ASTRO guidelines for quality assurance in radiation oncology. Provide a prioritized list of tasks and recommend a schedule for completion.
