How to Get Started

IROC offers decades of expertise to help NCTN Lead Protocol Organizations (LPOs) and Principal Investigators (PIs) develop new protocols from concept to activation. The IROC team assists LPOs and PIs throughout the entire protocol development process, focusing on Radiation Therapy (RT) and imaging credentialing, dosimetry planning and review, image acquisition compliance, Quality Assurance (QA), and general Data Management.

TRIAD

Transfer of Images and Data

TRIAD (Transfer of Images and Data) is an application that provides secure, efficient, and robust transmission of medical images and related electronic data. Developed and maintained by the American College of Radiology (ACR) with a focus on user-friendliness, TRIAD supports the exchange of electronic images and data for the multi-center clinical trials and other clinical research projects.
