Résumé
To implement a semi-automatic planning technique for whole breast irradiation with two tangential IMRT fields and to test the produced dose distribution against clinical 3DCRT plans, for introducing the technique in clinical practice. The Auto-Planning module of the Pinnacle A statistically significant improvement in target coverage and dose homogeneity was observed for autoIMRT. No statistically significant differences were observed for ipsilateral organs, except for the ipsilateral lung in left DIBH, where slightly lower D The developed autoIMRT technique was proven to be advantageous for target coverage and homogeneity and sufficiently robust towards isocenter displacements. The use of automated planning consistently reduces the planning workload with improvements in plan quality.
