This core will provide computer software and hardware support for the four research projects and for the two other cores. Projects 1, 2, and 3 require the augmentation of the existing treatment planning system, U- MPlan, to incorporate fully conformal 3-D treatment techniques as they are developed within the projects. Augmenting U-MPlan with the knowledge of these new techniques will facilitate further study of these techniques in a routine clinical setting. Projects 2 and 3 require enhancement of clinical computer software such as the CCRS (Computer-Controlled Radiotherapy System) in order to help measure the efficacy of methods explored within those projects. This core also provides Project 4 with any treatment planning tools needed to study the effects of tumor dose escalation. The treatment planning/dosimetry core will be supported with software tools necessary for analysis of gathered data, and with integration tools needed to exchange data between research projects and clinical software systems. This core will provide, to all projects and cores, a stable, well-maintained computing environment, including such basic elements as a programming staff well versed in software design and test methodology, a comprehensive and reliable computer network, archives of research data, and the personnel and tools necessary for management and acquisition of computer resources. In addition, this core will provide hardware and software support for the commercial megavoltage imager and for the flat-panel composite megavoltage and diagnostic imagers to be used with projects 2, 3, and 4. In project 2, a megavoltage imager will provide verification of field shape defined by the multileaf collimators. In project 3 and 4, a megavoltage and diagnostic imager will be used in verification of the treatment setup. This core includes the purchase of commercial imager and support for the installation, periodic calibration and quality assurance, and routine operation of the imagers during the course of the research. Finally, software for the manipulation, processing, and archiving of image data from the commercial megavoltage imager will be provided.

该核心将提供计算机软件和硬件支持 四个研究项目和另外两个核心。项目1、2和 3需要加强现有的治疗计划系统，U- M计划，将完全适形3-D治疗技术结合在一起 都是在项目中开发的。用知识扩充U-M计划 这些新技术的出现将促进对这些技术的进一步研究 在常规的临床环境中。项目2和3需要加强 临床计算机软件，如CCRS(计算机控制 放射治疗系统)，以帮助测量方法的疗效 在这些项目中进行了探索。该核心还为项目4提供了 任何研究肿瘤剂量影响所需的治疗计划工具 升级。治疗计划/剂量学核心将得到以下支持 分析收集的数据所需的软件工具，以及 研究项目之间交换数据所需的集成工具 临床软件系统。这一核心将为所有项目和 核心，一个稳定的、维护良好的计算环境，包括 作为编程人员的基本要素，精通软件设计和 测试方法、全面可靠的计算机网络、档案 研究数据以及管理所需的人员和工具 和计算机资源的获取。此外，这个核心将 为商业巨量提供硬件和软件支持 用于平板复合超大电压和诊断的成像仪 用于项目2、3和4的成像器。在项目2中， 兆伏成像仪将提供由定义的场形状的验证 多叶准直器。在项目3和4中，巨型卷和 诊断成像仪将用于验证治疗设置。 这一核心包括购买商业成像器和支持 安装、定期校准和质量保证、例行程序 在研究过程中对成像器的操作。最后， 用于处理、处理和存档图像数据的软件 来自商业的巨卷成像器将被提供。
