Background and purpose: Automation of radiotherapy workflows enhances efficiency, consistency and would support adaptive online dosimetry on standard linacs. This study investigated the feasibility and quality of a quasi-automatic treatment planning workflow for head-and-neck cancer. Materials and methods: ). IOV‑derived asymmetric safety margins around PTVn autocontours were computed from Euclidean distances. Results: of 95.1 ± 5.4%, while no significant impact on OARs dose was observed (p > 0.4). Conclusions: The quasi‑automatic workflow generated clinically acceptable, often superior plans. IOV‑based CTVn margins enhanced robustness and may hasten clinical adoption.
