Adapting automated treatment planning configurations across international centres for prostate radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Automated configurations are increasingly utilised for radiotherapy treatment planning. This study investigates whether automated treatment planning configurations are adaptable across clinics with different treatment planning protocols for prostate radiotherapy.

Material and methods

The study comprised three participating centres, each with pre-existing locally developed prostate AutoPlanning configurations using the Pinnacle³® treatment planning system. Using a three-patient training dataset circulated from each centre, centres modified local prostate configurations to generate protocol compliant treatment plans for the other two centres. Each centre applied modified configurations on validation datasets distributed from each centre (10 pa
