ProKnow and the RSS would like to acknowledge all participants in the RSS plan and contouring studies. By participating, you are actively contributing to the improvement of quality in radiation oncology. Participants will be receiving “pride of workmanship” cards and certificates. And of course you can track your achievements (both initial and continual improvement results) on the “My Achievements” page of ProKnow and make electronic or hard copy printouts of your achievement report.
We would also like to acknowledge a few individuals who achieved the highest levels of excellence for these studies. See the tables below, under the Plan Study and Contouring High Performers sections.
Plan Study High Performers
The following tables recognize individuals who score in the top 20% (overall) of the very challenging SBRT lung plan study. The tables are separated by modality by VMAT, IMRT, CyberKnife, and Proton.
