Conclusion The use of dedicated SIP concepts in combination with multiparametric prescription requirements and objectives in the context of multi-center benchmark studies with group consensus and training can lead to high treatment plan quality. Harmonization of SIB treatment planning appears possible in the context of international multi-center clinical trials. [1] T. B.

We solve the beam angle optimization problem for colli-DTRT by determining the table-angle and gantry-angle ranges of the partial arcs through iterative 4pi fluence map optimizations (FMOs) and beam direction elimination. Materials and Methods The treatment planning process is shown in figure 1. First, available beam directions are sampled on a gantry-table map and the collimator angle is aligned to the patient superior-inferior axis. In-house Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation is performed for all beamlets. Second, FMO is carried out on the set of beams to map the relative contribution of each beam direction to the mean PTV dose. The map is thresholded to eliminate the least contributing beams. Third, candidate arcs are formed by remaining adjacent beams with the same table-angle. These are trimmed by iterative FMO and elimination of the least contributing beams at the arcs’ edges. Short candidates are rejected. Step 3 is repeated until the total gantry angle range reaches a user-defined value. Fourth, the final set of candidates are considered as dynamic arcs for hybrid direct aperture optimization (HDAO) to obtain a deliverable colli-DTRT plan. Final MC dose calculation is performed.
