Purpose To perform a comprehensive dosimetric and clinical evaluation of the new Pinnacle
Personalized automated planning system for complex head-and-neck treatments. Methods …

Background Treatment plans for head and neck (H&N) cancer are highly complex due to
multiple dose prescription levels and numerous organs at risk (OARs) close to the target …

Background This study evaluated an automated inverse treatment planning algorithm,
Pinnacle Auto-Planning (AP), and compared automatically generated plans with historical …

Even with advanced inverse‐planning techniques, radiation treatment plan optimization
remains a very time‐consuming task with great output variability, which prompted the …

Purpose Automated planning techniques aim to reduce manual planning time and inter-
operator variability without compromising the plan quality which is particularly challenging …

Purpose The purposes of this work are to (a) investigate whether the use of auto‐planning
and multiple iterations improves quality of head and neck (HN) radiotherapy plans;(b) …

Background The purpose of this study was to compare automatically generated VMAT plans
to find the superior beam configurations for Pinnacle 3 Auto-Planning and share “best …

Purpose Lack of a reference dose distribution is one of the challenges in the treatment
planning used in volumetric modulated arc therapy because numerous manual processes …

Purpose Head and neck (HN) radiation (RT) treatment planning is complex and resource
intensive. Deviations and inconsistent plan quality significantly affect clinical outcomes. We …

Treatment planning is time‐consuming and the outcome depends on the person performing
the optimization. A system that automates treatment planning could potentially reduce the …
