Using Scorecards to Tune Ethos Directive Templates: An Adaptive Radiation Therapy Individualized Approach-Cervix Dosimetric Planning Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Adaptive Radiation Therapy Individualized Approach-Cervix clinical trial uses predefined clinical directive templates (CDTs) combined with RapidPlan dose-volume histogram estimations (DVHe) to guide plan optimization in the Ethos treatment planning system. The dosimetric scorecard is a scoring tool that quantifies improvements in plan quality after physicians have precisely expressed their complete clinical intent. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use the dosimetric scorecard tool to tune an Ethos CDT to improve resulting plan quality.

Methods and materials

Iterative replanning was used to modify the draft CDT (CDT-1) in Ethos 1.1 to generate a new CDT (CDT-2) that maximized the clinical consensus scorecard's total score compared with CDT-1. CDT-2 was
