Overview

Automated planning demonstrates improved dose conformity and reduced planner workload in lung cancer.

Key Points

  • Automated plans improved dose conformity and uniformity compared to manually created plans.
  • Mean dose to the total lung was significantly lower in automated plans than in manual plans (p < 0.01).
  • 57% of automated plans were rated superior to manual plans by physicians, suggesting better outcomes.
  • Automated planning outperformed manual planning particularly when planners had less experience.
