Creation of knowledge‐based planning models intended for large scale distribution: Minimizing the effect of outlier plans

Knowledge‐based planning ( KBP ) can be used to estimate dose–volume histograms ( DVH s) of organs at risk ( OAR ) using models. The task of model creation, however, can result in estimates with differing accuracy; particularly when outlier plans are not properly addressed. This work used RapidPlan ™ to create models for the prostate and head and neck intended for large‐scale distribution. Potential outlier plans were identified by means of...
