Automated evaluation for rapid implementation of knowledge-based radiotherapy planning models.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Knowledge-based planning (KBP) offers the ability to predict dose-volume metrics based on information extracted from previous plans, reducing plan variability and improving plan quality. As clinical integration of KBP is increasing there is a growing need for quantitative evaluation of KBP models. A .NET-based application, RapidCompare, was created for automated plan creation and analysis of Varian RapidPlan models.

Methods

RapidCompare was designed to read calculation parameters and a list of reference plans. The tool copies the reference plan field geometry and structure set, applies the RapidPlan model, optimizes the KBP plan, and generates data for quantitative evaluation of dose-volume metrics. A cohort of 85 patients, divided into training (50), testing (10), a
