Updates implemented in 2022

  • Three OARs have been added to the evaluation
  • The UI is updating after each calculation on a 4D phase
  • If a 4D phase has no structure set, it will be created and the BODY structure is created
  • The body structure from the planning CT can be copied to all phases.
  • All overwritten structures can now be copied to the 4D phases and overwritten at the same time.
  • The course name is added to the combo box, making it easier to determine which plan is selected
  • The "edit patient" line has been moved to the button where the changes are made.
  • Sumplans can be selected and evaluated

Updates implemented in 2023

  • Three DVH-points have been added to the header of the DVH-text files
  • The method for rounding of numbers have been improved
  • A small bug leading the script to crash sometimes have been solved.

Workflow

  • Open a treatment plan and place it in a new course. It is a good idea to have unique names for each phase image, however not necessary.
  • Run the script ...\Evaluering4D.esapi.dll.
  • 1: Choose the treatment plan in the dropdown menu and press Select plan.
  • 2: Define CTV1, CTV2, OAR1, OAR2 and OAR3 and define the prescribed dose to the CTVs and the evaluation dose to the OARs. This part can also be completely skipped.
  • Choose which 3D images that are to be used for each phase in the dropdown menus under '4D image'.
  • 3a: Press Select images if there already exists plans on the phases and you only wish to evaluate.
    • Select the plans for each phase and press Evaluate: Evaluate plans.
  • 3b: Press Select images if the plan has to be copied to each phase and calculated.
    • Select if the script should try to create/copy the body structure, copy and overwrite all overwritten structures and set the calibration curve on each scan.
    • Press Create plans. All plans are now calculated. This can take a while, and the interface will update after each phase. But have patience. It seems VMAT plans are very slow. Go get some coffee.
  • Use Export DVHs to export DVHs. DVHs will be exported for the main plan and all phases as well as the robust scenarios of the main plan if they exist. The format is the prefered format for the international Protect Esophagus Trial.
  • The section Errors and messages will write out messages and/or errors.
  • Close the window manually. If there are new plans calculated they have to be saved by the user in the main Eclipse window.
