Scripting To Improve Planning Consistency, Efficiency And To Streamline The Recommisioning Process
As described by Jeremy Donaghue: In Radiation Oncology, departments usually define their own standards for reports. Uti lizing the scripting features of RayStation, Akron General has been able to streamline these efforts while also reducing the po tential for human input errors (typos). This has simplified the process and reduced the amount of time spent by the staff. After a patient’s CT is imported a script is run to generate a treatment plan with appropriate naming conventions, prescrip tion settings (when available), localization beams and contour names (when avail able). Use of the script helps maintain con sistency across the database and planning process. Future development will include the recognition of all of the information in the CT/Sim’s description tags, all
