CALCULATIONS GENERATED USING A
COMPUTERIZED TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM

All U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission medical licensees.
PurDose
NRC is issuing this information notice to alert addressees to an event for
involving errors in the calculation of dose tables and isodose curves
several brachytherapy treatments and to the potential for errors in computer- generated dose calculations for brachytherapy treatment plans. It is expected
that recipients will review the information for applicability to their
operation and consider action, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.
However, information contained in this notice does not constitute new NRC
requirements; therefore, no specific action nor written response is required.
Description of Event
Recently, NRC was notified of several events, at two NRC-licensed facilities, involving multiple patients receiving manual cesium-137 (Cs-137) brachytherapy
treatments. The radiation dose administered to eleven patients was calculated 30
to be in excess of the dose prescribed by the authorized users, by 5 to
percent.

detailed review of backup versions of the data files and discussion with
Theratronics, the licensees determined that at some point before September
1992, the treatment planning system users re-entered data for Cs-137 system. as linear

IN 94-65 September 12, 1994 tables calculated by the treatment planning system appeared accurate within
approximately 5 percent.
One of the licensees discovered, through routine verification of a patient
treatment plan, that the computer-generated dose table had values lower than
expectfd when compared with published dose tables for Cs-137 (Krishnaswamy
tables ). After subsequent review and investigation, the licensee detected
the error in the selection of one parameter used to define the physical
characteristics of the Cs-137 sources.
Although both licensees had a written Quality Management Program (QMP), the
treatment planning system that was involved in these events was owned and
located at a cancer center that is jointly financed by the two licensees.
Because the individual who performed the calculations was employed by the
cancer center, neither licensee had detailed procedures to address the
treatment planning as part of the QMP. The licensees assumed that the
authorized users had responsibility for oversight of all aspects of the
patients' treatments and that the licensee need only be aware of those aspects
of the treatment actually conducted at the licensee's facility.
Discussion of Root Cause and ContributinQ Factors
An NRC team consisting of two risk assessment engineers, a medical physicist, and a radiation oncologist identified multiple causes of this event, including: the selection of an inappropriate reference table to check the
computer-generated output dose calculations; use of the same incorrect table
during the manual checks of the treatment plans; the inadvertent use of the
default function for the filter attenuation factor used by the planning
computer; lack of an independent review of treatment plans; lack of formal
policies to control or record the modification of the planning software; lack
of clear, formal policies governing the use of the computerized planning
system; lack of oversight by the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) or Radiation
Safety Committee (RSC) at either hospital over the treatment planning for the
brachytherapy procedures performed at their facilities; and poor software
design and documentation. The team identified software deviations from many
accepted standards of user-computer interface design.
Root Cause: The root cause of the brachytherapy events was a failure to
adequately validate the data used in the computer planning system.
Specifically, an error was made in performing an independent verification of
computer-generated dose tables and patient treatment plans.
Software and Erroneous Data Files: Although the validation error in the use
of an inappropriate reference table was the root cause of the brachytherapy
errors, there was also an error in the data parameter entry such that the
computer-generated dose values were too low. According to the licensee, this
problem has been corrected in subsequent versions of the software.
3 V. Krishnaswamy, "Dose Distributions about Cs-137 Sources in Tissue,"
Radiologv 105:181-184, 1972.
IN 94-65 September 12, 1994 A meeting was held between NRC and FDA to discuss the computer software
problems associated with these events. At the time of the incident, FDA(had
an Import Alert in effect on the Theraplan treatment planning system resulting
from a review of the manufacturer's Good Manufacturing Practices. However, on
July 26, 1994, FDA cleared the Theraplan V05B/TP-11 V09B treatment planning
system which will allow modifications to be made to existing software, as well
as the import of new software. In addition, FDA is working with NRC in its
review of this incident.
Other Contributing Factors: There were several other contributing factors as
described above. There was no independent review or check of the treatment
plans until the patient treatment in which the error was identified.
Secondly, there were no formal policies and barriers to control or record the
modification of the software or governing the use of the computerized planning
system. Formal policies on file modification, and password or key protection
may have prevented the loss of the original Cs-137 parameter set. In
addition, formal policies governing the use of the planning system could have
included mechanisms to handle inadvertent data loss such as use of backup or
archived files or use of the technical manual for data reentry. Finally, there was little or no oversight by the RSO or RSC at either hospital over the
treatment planning for the brachytherapy procedures performed at their
facilities. Furthermore, the inspection findings revealed that the RSO/RSC
for both licensees appeared to act as if the manual-afterloading treatment
planning performed at the cancer center did not fall under their hospitals'
NRC licenses.
General Discussion
This case highlights the importance of verifying data entry and performing
independent checks of computer-generated dose tables and treatment plans. In
addition, when data files are deleted, by whatever means, users should
consider comparing data entry with older versions of the file, if backup files
are available, to provide a second means of verifying data entry. This case
also emphasizes the need for the manufacturer to provide adequate training for
the user, regarding the use of the software in order to understand the logic
of programs used in treatment planning systems and the need to be familiar
with the conventions used by any software manufacturer for data entry.
Although there were instructions in the technical manual indicating that when
a default value was available as an option that entering zero or using the
return key would result in use of the default value, they were only described
in a chapter regarding external beam treatment planning.
Licensees using the Theraplan treatment planning system are encouraged to
review computer-generated dose tables for linear sources other than Ra-226, or
other sources for which data files have been manually entered, and to review
the parameters currently in use on the treatment planning system, to verify
their accuracy. In addition, users should ensure that they are familiar with
the conventions used for accepting default values and with all parameters for
which default values exist.
IN 94- September , 1994 the conventions used for accepting default values and with all parameters for
which default values exist.
Licensees are also reminded of the importance of appropriate oversight of the
licensee's radiation safety program and QMP. Radiation therapy has changed in
recent years and frequently involves multiple individuals from potentially
separate organizations in the planning and administration of radioactive
material to patients. In addition, if authorized users treat patients at more
than one facility, each facility might have different QMPk. It is critical
that licensee management ensure that individuals are properly instructed in
the licensee's written QMP and that there are adequate mechanisms for
oversight in place to determine that the QMP is effectively implemented by the
appropriate individuals to provide high confidence that byproduct material is
administered as directed by the authorized user,.'
