2 Tumor information is stored including staging and image basedrecistassessment. Personal Health Information is stored in a single table to facilitateanonymization. Toxicity andoutcomes. Labvalues Chemotherapy, medications, andsurgeries Patient History Regions of interest are stored as run-length encoded masks associated with each Patient Representation. Shape and shape relationship descriptors are stored for fast query of patient shapesimilarities. DoseVolumeHistograms arestoredfor eachregionofinterestfor fast query. DVH stored for both treatment summary and individual treatmentsessions Dose distributions are stored for each radiotherapy session. Each radiotherapy session is associated with a single patient representation. The transformation table stores the transformationbetweenmultiplepatientrepresentations enablingdoseaccumulation.

Gy, 63 Gy and 7 Gy DVH objectives of 3 OARs queried from the DB as initial planning goals in a leave-one-out manner Dosimetry of 3 sets of plans were compared: CP - Clinical plans OP - OVH-assisted plans after optimization OP - Final OVH-assisted plans 5 pts: PTV comparisons among CP,OP and OP PTV coverage and homogeneity were slightly better in both OPs; conformity was similar. 7
8 5 pts: OAR Sparing among CP,OP and OP Significantly lower in both OPs: cordmm (~6 Gy), brainstem (~7.

Pt accrual: Pts accrued from 7/ / (6 oropharynx; 9 larynx; 5 nasopharynx) Protocol: Definitive IMRT to 7 Gy in 35 Fractions to GTV and 63 Gy and 58. Gy to high and low risk CTVs. Three PTVs for each pt: PTV58., PTV63 and PTV7 Volume in cc 5 3 Volume distribution of pts PTV 58. PTV 63 PTV Patient No. PTV 7 : mean (73.cc); median (3.78 cc); SD (53 cc). PTV 63 : mean (363.5 cc); median (39. cc); SD (.6 cc).

AP- Automated Plan plans are automatically generated by the proposed TPS. Clinical planning is guided by Dr. Sanguineti and in-house dosimetric guidelines. week of post-approval of CP, both AP and CP are blindly reviewed by Dr. Sanguineti. One of the plans is chosen as the better one. 9
10 Dosimetric Results: CP vs. AP Primary OARs (optic nerve, chiasm, brainstem, brain, cord and mandible) AP: reduced by. Gy (p=.) overall PTV coverage (V 95 in %) AP: increased by.6% (p=.) overall Secondary OARs (parotid, brachial plexus, larynx, inner ear, oral mucosa, esophagus AP: reduced by.6 Gy (p=.) overall PTV homogeneity and conformity AP: significant better homogeneity in PTV 63 (p=.) and PTV 7 (p <.) AP: significant better conformity in PTV 58. (p=.9). AP: fully automated plans CP: clinical plans manually created by dosimetrists in their regular way AP: optimization runs per plan (~3 minutes) CP: ~ (SD: 9) optimization runs per plan No. of clicks in CPs 3 Planning efficiency Patient No. oropharynx larynx nasopharynx Physician Preference Dr. Sanguineti reviewed the isodose distributions and DVH curves without knowing the origins of the plans. Based on his opinion, All APs (/) are clinically acceptable and can be used to treat patients 7/ APs are clinically superior to the CPs
11 73.5 Gy 63 Gy 7 Gy 58.
