Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Planning

Background:

  • Class solutions are emerging for streamlining radiotherapy planning.
  • Objective evaluation of radiotherapy plans is crucial.
  • Plan analysis software offers a standardized method for plan assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a class solution for prostate intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning using plan analysis software.
  • To compare three iterations of a prostate IMRT class solution against historical patient plans.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized plan analysis software (Plan IQ™) to assess three prostate IMRT class solution iterations (T1, T2, Tfinal).
  • Compared class solutions against 74 historical prostate patient clinical plans.
  • Established institution-specific plan quality metrics and scoring systems based on best practices.

Main Results:

  • The Tfinal class solution showed comparable CTV coverage to clinical plans.
  • Tfinal demonstrated significantly improved PTV coverage metrics compared to clinical plans, except for 95% coverage.
  • Organs at risk metrics and scores were similar between Tfinal and clinical plans; total plan scores were also comparable.

Conclusions:

  • Radiotherapy plan analysis software effectively evaluated the prostate IMRT class solution.
  • The class solution generated clinically acceptable prostate IMRT plans.
  • The study provides evidence supporting the use of this class solution for prostate IMRT planning.
