Improved planning efficiency in multiple brain lesion SRS VMAT cases using Eclipse scripting

Though dosimetry has a multitude of treatment modalities, software, and workflows to aid in the treatment planning process, treatment planners are still responsible for several tedious and monotonous tasks that could decrease their planning efficiency. The purpose of this study was to determine if scripting could improve treatment planning efficiency for multiple brain lesion stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) volumetric arc therapy cases by reducing planning time commitment. A script was developed for multiple brain lesion SRS cases using Eclipse scripting application programming interface with the intention of improving treatment planning efficiency by creating optimization structures and importing prescription and suggested OS dose metrics to the optimizer.
