Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Treatment Planning

Background:

  • Patient-specific collision prediction is crucial for safe radiation therapy.
  • Current methods may lack efficiency or practicality in clinical workflows.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical, patient-specific method for predicting collisions during treatment planning.
  • To integrate collision prediction into the existing clinical workflow.

Main Methods:

  • Defined collision-free space as a cylinder based on gantry and isocenter geometry.
  • Imported this space as a Region of Interest (ROI) named ROISS into the Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS).
  • Evaluated collisions by comparing patient anatomy and couch position against the ROISS on fused CT images.

Main Results:

  • ROISS generation is rapid (under 5 seconds) and visually represented as circles or ellipses.
  • A 3 cm safety margin achieved 96.3% accuracy with 100% true positive collision detection.
  • Safety margins improve the negative predictive value (NPV) for collision detection.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers reliable, accurate, and fast collision prediction in radiation therapy planning.
  • Early detection and prevention of potential collisions improve treatment safety and efficiency.
  • This approach integrates seamlessly into current clinical workflows without requiring additional resources.
