Variations in Head and Neck Treatment Plan Quality Assessment Among Radiation Oncologists and Medical Physicists in a Single Radiotherapy Department

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
BackgroundAgreement between planners and treating radiation oncologists (ROs) on plan quality criteria is essential for consistent planning. Differences between ROs and planning medical physicists (MPs) in perceived quality of head and neck cancer plans ...

On Practical Reasoning and Automated Planning [PDF]

, 2012
Practical reasoning and automated planning are strictly related as they strive to answer to the same question: “which is the best course of action for an agent?” While the first research field addressed this topic mainly from an epistemological point of ...

Improving treatment plan evaluation with automation [PDF]

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2016
The goal of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of Plan‐Checker Tool (PCT) which was created to improve first‐time plan quality, reduce patient delays, increase the efficiency of our electronic workflow, and standardize and automate the physics plan review in the treatment planning system (TPS).
