Purpose Purpose of this study is to evaluate plan quality on the MRIdian (Viewray Inc.,
Oakwood Village, OH, USA) system for head and neck cancer (HNC) through comparison of …

Objectives To demonstrate that novice dosimetry planners efficiently create clinically
acceptable IMRT plans for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients using a commercially …

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using a knowledge‐based planning
technique to detect poor quality VMAT plans for patients with head and neck cancer. We …

Background Agreement between planners and treating radiation oncologists (ROs) on plan
quality criteria is essential for consistent planning. Differences between ROs and planning …

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 …

Purpose To investigate changes in head-and-neck cancer (HNC) plan quality following the
introduction of new technologies and planning techniques in the last decade. Methods and …

Purpose To benchmark and improve, through means of a targeted intervention, the quality of
intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment planning for locally advanced head and …

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

Purpose This study aimed to investigate whether a disease site–specific, multi-institutional
knowledge based-planning (KBP) model can improve the quality of intensity modulated …

Purpose Radiation treatment planning for head and neck cancer is a complex process with
much variability; automated treatment planning is a promising option to improve plan quality …
