CreateVerificationPlan.cs controlpoints
Hello,
I was running CreateVerificationPlan.cs, and for a RapidArc plan I am noticing that the Gantry Rtn, Dose Rate, GantrySpeed, and MU/deg are slightly different than a manually generated plan. The start and stop angles, and the number of controlpoints are the same though. The code I am using is below. What am I doing wrong to make a discrepancy?
Thanks, Landon
var collimatorAngle = getCollimatorAndGantryFromBeam ? originalBeam.ControlPoints.First().CollimatorAngle : 0.0;
var gantryAngleStart = getCollimatorAndGantryFromBeam ? originalBeam.ControlPoints.First().GantryAngle : 0.0;
var gantryAngleEnd = getCollimatorAndGantryFromBeam ? originalBeam.ControlPoints.Last().GantryAngle : 0.0;
var gantryDirection = originalBeam.GantryDirection;
var couchAngle = 0.0;
var metersetWeights = originalBeam.ControlPoints.Select(cp => cp.MetersetWeight);
var beamWeight = originalBeam.WeightFactor;
var beam = plan.AddVMATBeam(MachineParameters, metersetWeights, collimatorAngle, gantryAngleStart,
gantryAngleEnd, gantryDirection, couchAngle, isocenter);
// Copy control points from the original beam.
var editableParams = beam.GetEditableParameters();
for (var i = 0; i < editableParams.ControlPoints.Count(); i++)
{
editableParams.ControlPoints.ElementAt(i).LeafPositions = originalBeam.ControlPoints.ElementAt(i).LeafPositions;
editableParams.ControlPoints.ElementAt(i).JawPositions = originalBeam.ControlPoints.ElementAt(i).JawPositions;
}
editableParams.WeightFactor = originalBeam.WeightFactor;
beam.ApplyParameters(editableParams);
return beam.Id;

I see the same thing. It maybe seems obvious for me to assume that an even 178 control point spacing is the same dosimetrically as 178 control points that are unevenly spaced in the first and last control points, but its maybe not the safest thing for me to be assuming things like this. I believe it would be worth a discussion to determine if there is any dosimetric or delivery significance to this change in control point spacing when generating VMAT plans with automation. Has anyone done any extensive comparisons here?
Could course.CopyPlanSetup(verifiedPlan, verificationStructures, outputDiagnostics) be used instead? That seems much simpler. CopyPlanSetup creates a PlanSetup, but I think one could cast it to an ExternalPlanSetup?
I did look into the dosimetric results of the above differences, and they were large enough to affect our QA distributions of 2%/2mm.
Apparently CopyPlanSetup does the same thing. The gantry rotation and MU/deg are slightly different in the control point list.
This behavior is happening to me as well. But If you check the Script Information, the gantryangle and meterset weight are the same.
Code
namespace VMS.TPS
{
public class Script
{
public static void Execute(ScriptContext context)
{
ExternalPlanSetup qa = (ExternalPlanSetup)context.PlanSetup;
ExternalPlanSetup verified = (ExternalPlanSetup)qa.VerifiedPlan;
var msg = PrintControlPointsVS(qa, verified);
ExtractCSV("MUW.csv",msg);
}
public static IEnumerable<string> PrintControlPoints(ExternalPlanSetup plan)
{
var fields = plan.Beams;
var ctrs = fields.Select(f => f.ControlPoints);
var final = new List<string> { "BeamId,Index,CollimatorAngle,GantryAngle,MUWeight" };
foreach (var ctr in ctrs)
{
foreach (var point in ctr)
{
final.Add(point.Beam.Id + "," + point.Index + "," + point.CollimatorAngle + "," + point.GantryAngle + "," + point.MetersetWeight);
}
}
return final;
}
public static IEnumerable<string> PrintControlPointsVS(ExternalPlanSetup plan1,ExternalPlanSetup plan2)
{
var fields1 = plan1.Beams;
var fields2 = plan2.Beams;
var ctrs1 = fields1.Select(f => f.ControlPoints);
var ctrs2 = fields1.Select(f => f.ControlPoints);
var final = new List<string> { "Index,BeamId1,BeamId2,MUWeight1,MUWeight2,GantryAngle1,GantryAngle2" };
for (int i = 0; i < ctrs1.Count(); i++)
{
var ctr1 = ctrs1.ElementAt(i);
var ctr2 = ctrs2.ElementAt(i);
for (int j = 0; j < ctr1.Count; j++)
{
var point1 = ctr1.ElementAt(j);
var point2 = ctr2.ElementAt(j);
final.Add(point1.Index + "," + point1.Beam.Id + "," + point2.Beam.Id + "," + point1.MetersetWeight + "," + point2.MetersetWeight + "," + point1.GantryAngle + "," + point2.GantryAngle);
}
final.Add("\n");
}
return final;
}
public static void ExtractCSV(string filename, IEnumerable<string> results)
{
var temp = Path.GetTempPath();
var fl = Path.Combine(temp + filename);
File.WriteAllLines(fl, results);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fl);
}
}
}
I've found the same issue as @LDClark, with the resultant dosimetric differences being enough to cause worry. Is it possible to just add GantryAngle to the admissable list of EditableParameters so the values can be corrected following beam creation?
As a followup tidbit, VMAT beams created via scripting are represented in Eclipse (e.g. in transverse view for GantryAngle=0 beam) by a yellow arc with a smaller (17 cm) radius than those of CP-matched VMAT beams created through the GUI (shown arc has radius of 34 cm). Seems like Eclipse recognizes some difference with scripted VMAT beams.
I think this solution works: CreateVerificationPlan.
It is not the most elegant solution, but it fixed the controlpoint issue for VMAT (issue that I had created in modifying it from IMRT). The version I had modified before wasn't applying the editable parameters to the beam, in the method CopyBeam().
This version does this: -Add beam to verification plan, and apply machineparameters, metersetweights, collimatorangle, gantry angle, etc. -Makes the treat plan and verif plan beam names the same -Goes through each plan's beams and makes the editable parameters the same and applies them
I checked the control points after, and they match now.

Hey guys this problem seems to be not difficult to solve, IMRT example made us lose track. #42 has the answer
I think I have a workaround that gives an exact match on the dose distribution. Here is a matching issue that had the same problem:
https://github.com/x2sky/Esapi_CreateQAPlan/issues/1
If you modify the AddVMATBeam() method as so, the resulting new plan doesn't have start/stop angles that match, but the isodoses from the QA plan match up. I think the way the API adds VMAT beams gives it an extra 1 degree of padding at the start/stop, compared to how the manually created beam in Eclipse is added. Can anyone verify that this works on their system?
