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 ...

Simultaneous ThermoBrachytherapy: Electromagnetic Simulation Methods for Fast and Accurate Adaptive Treatment Planning

Sensors, 2022
The combination of interstitial hyperthermia treatment (IHT) with high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) can improve clinical outcomes since it highly enhances the efficiency of cell kill, especially when applied simultaneously.

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).

Automated testing platform for radiotherapy treatment planning scripts

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2022
AbstractRealizing the potential of user‐developed automation software interacting with a treatment planning system (TPS) requires rigorous testing to ensure patient safety and data integrity. We developed an automated test platform to allow comparison of the treatment planning database before and after the execution of a write‐enabled script ...

Automated Radiation Treatment Planning for Cervical Cancer

Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2020
The radiation treatment-planning process includes contouring, planning, and reviewing the final plan, and each component requires substantial time and effort from multiple experts. Automation of treatment planning can save time and reduce the cost of radiation treatment, and potentially provides more consistent and better quality plans. With the recent

On the Exploitation of Automated Planning for Efficient Decision Making in Road Traffic Accident Management [PDF]

, 2016
Automated Planning can be fruitfully exploited as a Decision Support toolkit that, given a specification of available actions (elementary decisions to be taken), an initial situation and goals to be achieved, generates a plan that represents a (partially
