Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Radiation therapy treatment planning involves complex, multi-step processes.
  • Standardization and automation are crucial for improving efficiency and reducing errors in treatment delivery.
  • Accessing and manipulating data within commercial treatment planning systems (TPS) presents technical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create an automated workflow for generating and evaluating radiation therapy treatment plans.
  • To standardize the treatment planning process using an application programming interface (API).
  • To enable real-time quality control and feedback during treatment plan development.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a workflow to convert physician orders into XML files for automated template generation.
  • Utilized a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) API for data access and manipulation.
  • Created computer programs for quality control (QC) reports and patient-specific plan evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Successfully automated the generation of contour, beam, and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) optimization templates for lung IMRT.
  • Implemented QC reports verifying patient data and organ naming conventions.
  • Developed real-time feedback mechanisms within the TPS to monitor plan concordance with physician goals.

Conclusions:

  • User-developed programs accessing TPS data via a commercial API facilitate automation.
  • Standardization of treatment plan generation and evaluation is achievable through API integration.
  • The developed workflow enhances quality control and efficiency in radiation oncology planning.
