Data Collection Timeline Final
Data Collection Timeline Final
Amanda, Kate & Hieu (Group 4) will be working together on their research project. Here are the roles of each team member:
Kate and Hieu are both at clinical sites that are affiliates of Johns Hopkins Hospital: with Kate being at the East Baltimore campus and Hieu at
their Sibley Memorial campus. The duties of data collection and data analysis will be shared between Kate & Hieu. Our case study will be
retrospective, focusing on analyzing former studies to evaluate flattening-free filter and flattening filter techniques, using the exact same
treatment planning software and data sets. We will be examining 1-10 patients for data collection using an experimental design methodology
and will follow a quantitative project template, focusing on evaluating treatment times while maintaining organ-at-risk dose constraints and
mean tumor dose. Our criteria for data collection are patients receiving volume-modulated radiation therapy to the lung at breath-hold. Hopkins
affiliated sites will be used for all data collection to maintain consistency and limit variables. Conference calls, design plan and authorship will be
constructed by Amanda.
