Automatizing a nonscripting TPS for optimizing clinical workflow and reoptimizing IMRT/VMAT plans
The purpose of this study was to design a toolkit that interacts with the Monaco (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) treatment planning system (TPS) for optimization of intensity-modulated radiation therapy and volumetric-modulated arc therapy without the need for a dedicated application programming interface. Successful inverse planning of radiotherapeutic treatment depends on the tweaking of many parameters; a tool was thus needed to explore these parameters more exhaustively without significantly increasing planning time.
