“…( 25 ) – in a large hospital multidisciplinary setting with the possibility of hands-on target delineation. Our aim was to establish a user-friendly technical setup that allows for secure, fully interactive target delineation with optimal imaging quality ( 26 ) and easy access to subspecialised experts in different locations with no excess time spent on transport ( 25 ).…”

Like all other medical specialities, radiotherapy has been deeply influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has had severe influence on the entire patient trajectory in oncology, from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up. Many examples of how to deal with patient and staff safety, shortness of staff and other resources and the quest to continue high-quality, evidence-based treatment have been presented. The use of telemedicine and telehealth is frequently presented as a part of the solution to overcome these challenges. Some of the available presented solutions will only apply in an acute, local setting, whereas others might inspire the community to improve quality and cost-effectiveness of radiotherapy as well as knowledge sharing in the future. Some of the unresolved issues in many of the available technical solutions are related to data security and public regulation, e.g., GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in the EU and HIPAA compliance (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the USA. Using a solution that involves a supplier's server in a non-EU country is problematic within the EU. In this paper we shortly review the influence of COVID-19 on radiotherapy. We describe some of the possible solutions for telehealth in target delineation – a crucial part of high-quality radiotherapy, which often requires multidisciplinary effort, hands-on corporation, and high-quality multimodal imaging. Hereafter, our own technical solution will be presented as a case.

“…33 The SNMMI and EANM practice guideline for tele-nuclear medicine 2.0, published in 2014, recommended that relatively simple test patterns should be readily displayable on remote monitors to assure quality control. 34 In Jan 2021, SNMMI Physics, Instrumentation, and Data Science Council published a more detailed guideline on remote nuclear medicine viewing, including ambient light, brightness/luminance, display bit depth, grayscale range, resolution, minimum physical size and pixel size, and color calibration, which are definitively discussed. 31 …”

Community SARS-CoV-2 has profoundly affected traditional elements of learning and teaching in nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology departments. The response of the nuclear medicine community to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic can be described in 3 phases: accommodation, consolidation and optimization, and a return towards normalcy. Adoption of virtual communication platforms has emerged as the crucial interim tool for preservation of trainee supervision and diagnostic imaging education. Development of supplemental teaching materials, refocusing research interests, and relaxation of requirements have all contributed toward stabilization of the residency programs. As we embark on a gradual return to normalcy, many of the virtual solutions that were employed have gained a degree of enduring popularity and may find a place in the postpandemic period.

“… 37 Guidelines on the employment of telemedicine in the field of Nuclear Medicine have also been previously crafted by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine. 38 To reduce patient movement and hospital resources for multiple admissions, same-day Y90 radioembolization for HCC has also been performed in our institution. The practice of same-day angiography, 99mTc-MAA scintigraphy, and 90Y radioembolization not only translates to a reduced risk of potential COVID-19 spread by reducing patient movement but has also shown to provide more expeditious cancer care.…”
