Two-Dimensional Electron Beam Radiotherapy Planning System with Modeling Function / 中国医疗器械杂志

ABSTRACT

In order to adapt to different target shapes and protect the surrounding normal tissues, the design of two-dimensional electron beam radiotherapy planning requires additional lead blocks. But the Pinnacle treatment planning system can not directly shape the lead block conformity to the size of the beam field given by the doctor. Every time, physicists need to manually drag the lead block to form the required beam field. When meeting a two-dimensional electron beam treatment planning with the same field parameters as before, physicists need to rearrange the field for dose calculation, which greatly reduces the design efficiency of the two-dimensional electron beam treatment planning. In this study, we independently developed a two-dimensional electron beam radiotherapy planning system based on Qt Creator. The system can quickly design a two-dimensional electron beam radiotherapy plan, which reduces the repeated work of physicists.
