Scripting Double Header in Denver In the scenic backdrop of Parker, CO, Gateway Scripts recently hosted two highly anticipated courses at Parker Adventist Hospital: one focused on application development with the Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) and another on Automation with Varian APIs. These courses brought together medical professionals, developers, and scripting enthusiasts for an intensive and rewarding educational experience, along with a fun time defending from zombie hordes.

Mastering LINQ for Efficient Data Manipulation in C# and Data Mining in ESAPIOne of my favorite APIs available in the .NET Framework is also readily available from Microsoft and included in many C# .NET Framework projects by default. The LINQ library, standing for Language-INtegrated Query allows for collections of objects to be searched with inline code, rather than writing tedious loops. |

Robust optimization and assessment of dynamic trajectory and mixed-beam arc radiotherapy: a preliminary study |
|
|
This fantastic study from the group at Insel in Bern, Switzerland developed a treatment planning process for dynamic mixed-beam arc therapy (DYMBARC) and dynamic trajectory radiotherapy (DTRT) to improve dosimetric quality and robustness against setup uncertainties. DYMBARC combines non-coplanar photon trajectories with electron arcs to optimize dose distributions for various cancer sites. The Eclipse Scripting API (ESAPI) was crucial in interfacing the in-house software with the Eclipse treatment planning system, enabling data import, optimization, and visualization of treatment plans, thus facilitating robust optimization and effective implementation of these advanced radiotherapy techniques.

ESAPI Water Tank Comparison plugin |
|
|
ProfileComparison.easpi.dll is a standalone ESAPI plugin that allows users to load Sun Nuclear water tank (.snctxt) profiles and compare to the calculated dose of the selected plan using a gamma evaluation. By calculating the dose to a water phantom in the treatment planning system and comparing the results to measured water tank profiles, this tool allows users to quickly evaluate the accuracy of their treatment planning system without the need to export each dose volume to DICOM. This type of evaluation is recommended as part of the validation of treatment planning system algorithms during commissioning in AAPM MPPG 5: |
