Using Scorecards to Tune Ethos Directive Templates: An Adaptive Radiation Therapy Individualized Approach-Cervix Dosimetric Planning Study
Purpose
The Adaptive Radiation Therapy Individualized Approach-Cervix clinical trial uses predefined clinical directive templates (CDTs) combined with RapidPlan dose-volume histogram estimations (DVHe) to guide plan optimization in the Ethos treatment planning system. The dosimetric scorecard is a scoring tool that quantifies improvements in plan quality after physicians have precisely expressed their complete clinical intent. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use the dosimetric scorecard tool to tune an Ethos CDT to improve resulting plan quality.
Methods and Materials
Iterative replanning was used to modify the draft CDT (CDT-1) in Ethos 1.1 to generate a new CDT (CDT-2) that maximized the clinical consensus scorecard's total score compared with CDT-1. CDT-2 was established, and resulting plans were compared with and without a DVHe. Additional fixed field intensity modulated radiation therapy beam geometries were compared between CDT-1 and CDT-2, both with DVHe. After obtaining favorable results when comparing CDT-1 versus CDT-2 for 2 test cases, 10 additional cases were retrospectively identified and tested.
Results
CDT-2 reduced organ at risk doses without compromising planning target volume coverage in the initial test cases. When combined with DVHe, CDT-2 marginally outperformed CDT-1. Plan quality further improved with a 19-field geometry. In the expanded analysis, CDT-2 achieved higher scores than CDT-1 in most cases, with the 19-field approach showing superiority. Optimization and calculation time increased by 1.9 minutes, monitor unit (MU)/field decreased by 44.4, whereas beam-on time increased by 2.8 minutes when increasing fields to 19 from 9. Reoptimization with Ethos 1.1 Maintenance Release 1 resulted in decreased MU and minimal score changes.
Conclusions
The scorecard is an effective tool to adjust an Ethos CDT to improve the average calculated plan quality. It also allowed for easy evaluation of the dosimetric impact of other planning parameters (beam arrangements and use of DVHe) to identify the best approach. Using a finely tuned CDT is expected to improve planning efficiency and decrease intrainstitutional plan quality variability, benefiting cone beam computed tomography–guided adaptive radiation therapy.
