Improving efficiency in lung SAbR planning using integrated tools for X-ray based adaptive radiotherapy
Purpose
To evaluate the feasibility of translating clinical lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) templates from Ethos1.1 to Ethos2.0, leveraging new features to facilitate dose fall-off and automate patient-specific beam arrangement. This study aims to streamline planning processes and support broader adoption of online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for lung SAbR.
Methods
We selected fifteen patients previously treated with adaptive lung SAbR using the Ethos1.1 system, each receiving 40–60 Gy in 5 fractions. Plans were reoptimized in Ethos2.0 using identical parameters (rIMRT) to their clinical counterpart. To evaluate new integrated features, we utilized high-fidelity (HF) mode with and without automatic treatment geometry selection (HF-cIMRT, HF-aIMRT/VMAT). These strategies were compared to assess the impact of Ethos2.0's new features on plan quality and efficiency using RTOG-based metrics and enhanced plan deliverability analysis. Statistical significance was assessed using paired Student's t-tests (α = 0.05).
Results
All plans reoptimized in Ethos2.0 demonstrated acceptable plan quality. No statistically significant differences in maximum organ-at-risk doses were observed between evaluated strategies and the clinical plan. For complex cases, human-selected beam geometry proved superior to automated geometry. HF-enabled plans significantly reduced total monitor units, with HF-aVMAT, HF-cIMRT, and HF-aIMRT reporting 3142.4 ± 997.4 (p < 0.001), 3401.8 ± 516.1 (p < 0.001), and 3225.6 ± 484.2 (p < 0.001) compared to clinical 5424.9 ± 1353.4. A trade-off was observed in conformity index, which was 1.06 ± 0.08 (p = 0.006), 1.05 ± 0.06 (p = 0.003), and 1.03 ± 0.05 (p = 0.05) for HF-aIMRT, HF-cIMRT, and HF-aVMAT plans compared to clinical 1.01 ± 0.03.
Conclusion
Lung SAbR planning strategies can be effectively transitioned from Ethos1.1 to Ethos2.0, improving workflow efficiency with high-fidelity mode and minor adjustments. Automated beam geometry tools enhance planner efficiency for both IMRT and VMAT. To address increased ART workload and staffing demands, leveraging integrated automation tools is essential. The planning strategies presented in this study are straightforward and reproducible for ART-enabled clinics.
