description PURPOSE: To develop an one-click option on treatment planning system that enables for the automated breast FIF planning by combining the Eclipse Scripting application programming interfaces and user-executed programming in Windows. METHODS: Scripting application programming interfaces were designed to promote automation in clinical workflow associated with radiation oncology. However, scripting cannot provide all functions that users want to perform. Thus, a new framework proposes to integrate the benefits of the scripting application and user-executed programming for the automated field-in-field technique. We adopted the Eclipse Scripting applications, which provide an interface between treatment planning system server and client and enable for running the executed program to create dose clouds and adjust the planning parameters such as multi-leaf collimator placements and monitor unit values. Importantly, all tasks are designed to perform with one-click option on treatment planning system, including the automated pushback of the proposed plan to the treatment planning system. RESULTS: The plans produced from the proposed framework were validated against the manual field-in-field plans with 40 retrospective breast patient cases in planning efficiency and plan quality. The elapsed time for running the framework was less than 1 minute, which significantly reduced the manual multi-leaf collimator/monitor unit adjustment time. It decreased the total planning time by more than 50%, relative to the manual field-in-field planning. In dosimetric aspects, the mean and maximum dose of the heart, lung, and whole breast did not exceed 1% deviation from the manual plans in most patient cases, while maintaining the target dose coverage and homogeneity index inside the target volume. From numerical analysis, the automated plans were demonstrated to be sufficiently close to the manual plans. CONCLUSION: The combination of scripting applications and user-executed programming for automated breast field-in-field planning accomplished a significant enhancement in planning efficiency without degrading the plan quality, relative to the manual field-in-field procedure.
