1 Walk Through of CERR Capabilities Aditya P. Apte, Ph.D. Department of Medical Physics Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center New York AAPM 2015, July 15, 2015 CERR: Computational Environment for Radiological Research CERR (pronounced 'sir') provides a platform to prototype algorithms for Radiotherapy and Radiomics. i (e.g. IMRT, Outcomes research, Image features etc) Open source, free: GNU GPL copyleft Developers: James Alaly, Aditya Apte, Divya Khullar, Yu Wu and Joseph O. Deasy 1 2 CERR: Introduction Written in Matlab. Source and Compiled versions are available Import and display treatment plans from a wide variety of commercial or academic treatment planning systems. Provides a common filetype for Research E.g: creation of multi institutional treatment plan databases for various types of research studies, including dose volume outcomes analyses,imrt treatment planning comparisons and Radiomics. 3 Documentation Support Community Wiki: Forum: forum p//g p g g /g p/ Download: (GitHub) Citations 261 Web of Science, 379 Google Scholar (June 2015) 4 Outline Dose Distributions Images Structures DVHs CERR data structure s IMRTP Research Radiotherapy outcomes modeling Radiomics Advanced visualization and analysis tools 5 Getting CERR: Control Panel Source version: Add all the sub-folders to Matlab path Compiled version: Install Matlab runtime libraries 6 1

8 Advanced tools Dose Location Histogram (DLH) Advanced tools Plan Robustness Analysis DLH gives an idea about the location of cold / hot spots within a structure relative to its surface. Eg: 85cc of cold spots (Dose <= 70Gy) lie within 1.4 cm from the surface Advanced tools Generating Consensus Contour Advanced tools Fast 3D Gamma Metric Graph of Agreement volume v/s Confidence level for the three methods: Apparent, kappacorrected and STAPLE. User can interactively select the confidence level by dragging the red line and consensus regions will be updated accordingly. This process would change the estimated volume to match desired confidence level. Based on "A fast algorithm for gamma evaluation in 3D, Wendling et al, Medical physics, 34 (5), pp. 1647, Works with doses of unequal dimensions and having associated transformations. Computation time for regular doses is ~2 seconds. 1 0 Warfield, Zou, and Wells Thank you 47 8
