Abstract:Objective To explore the possibility of applying RapidPlan automatic planning model across different diseases.Methods Ten cases of clinical manual optimization (CMO) for rectal cancer were selected as the test group, and the RapidPlan model, which has been proven to perform well in cervical cancer automatic planning, was used to optimize it. The differences between manual and automatic plans were compared to determine the feasibility of the model's cross disease application.Results Both the automatic and manual plans generated by the model met clinical needs. Compared with manual plans, the RapidPlan automatic plan model optimized plans for organ at risk (OAR), bladder V30, V40, and V50 decreased by 19.0% (P=0.035), 17.6% (P=0.042), and 20.7% (P=0.001), respectively. The D2 of planning target volume (PTV) decreased by 1.6% (P=0.016), D98 increased by 0.9% (P=0.002), and the conformance index (CI) value decreased by 5.6% (P=0.019). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the homogeneity index (HI).Conclusion The optimization of rectal cancer planning using the RapidPlan automatic planning model for cervical cancer yields better results compared with manual planning, and the cross disease use of the model has certain feasibility in clinical practice.
