    Area of Science:

    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Physics
    • Cancer Treatment

    Background:

    • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) requires complex treatment planning.
    • Manual IMRT plan optimization is time-consuming and relies on dosimetrist expertise.
    • Automated planning tools aim to improve efficiency and plan quality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To prospectively compare automated iCycle plans with manually generated IMRT plans for head and neck cancer.
    • To evaluate physician preference and quantify differences in plan quality.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 20 head and neck cancer patients.
    • Comparison of plans generated by the automated iCycle system versus manual optimization by dosimetrists.
    • Physician choice between the two plan types for treatment delivery.

    Main Results:

    • Physicians selected the iCycle-generated plan in 32 out of 33 comparisons (97%).
    • iCycle plans demonstrated significantly improved sparing of critical structures like salivary glands, oral cavity, and swallowing muscles.
    • Target coverage was also improved in a majority of cases with iCycle.

    Conclusions:

    • Automated IMRT plan generation using iCycle leads to superior plan quality compared to manual methods.
    • The efficiency and improved outcomes of automated planning offer economic advantages and reduced clinical workload.
