TMIAutomation

Plug-in script for the Eclipse Treatment Planning System to automate Total Marrow (Lymph-node) Irradiation (TMI/TMLI).

The script was introduced and validated in this paper on Strahlentherapie und Onkologie.

The generation of the field geometry of TMI/TMLI with deep-learning was introduced in this paper on Medical Physics. This paper was featured on the cover of the Medical Physics Issue of June 2024.

Key features

• Field geometry for the TMI/TMLI upper-body generated with deep-learning models
• Automatic planning of the lower-extremities for TMI/TMLI
• Extendible to VMAT-TBI (Total Body Irradiation delivered with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy)

Usage

Documentation

The script Reference Guide is located in the Docs folder of this repository. Alternatively, it can be found in the Docs folder contained in the release assets.

Demo

Example on Eclipse v15:

Requirements

Tested on Eclipse v15 and v16.

Go to the latest release page:

• for Eclipse v15: download the zip file ESAPI15_TMIAutomation-vx.x.x.x.zip
• for Eclipse v16: download the zip file ESAPI16_TMIAutomation-vx.x.x.x.zip

If you are on a research workstation (TBox), you can immediately run the script TMIAutomation.esapi.dll by setting the database in research mode from the RT Administration module of Eclipse. Otherwise, the plug-in script TMIAutomation.esapi.dll needs to be approved in the Eclipse application.
