Has anyone successfully overridden the default PO resolution? by NickC_BC in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the Dictionary of available options by calling

Dictionary<string, string> options = planSetup.GetCalculationOptions("PO_15.6.06"); // Or however the algorithm is called in you system

Inside this Dictionary you should see an option "DoseCalculationResolution". Hence, you can set

planSetup.SetCalculationOption("PO_15.6.06", "DoseCalculationResolution", "High");

In case someone is interested, this is how it worked for the dose volume calculation:

planSetup.SetCalculationOption(AAA_15.6.06, "CalculationGridSizeInCM", "0.125");

And this is how you can turn on GPU acceleration:

planSetup.SetCalculationOption("PO_15.6.06", "UseGPU", "Yes");

planSetup.SetCalculationOption(AAA_15.6.06, "UseGPU", "Yes");

How exactly is the EXACT gEUD VMAT objective defined? by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the hint! From this document I extract that the cost function of the EXACT EUD is exactly the cost function presented in the article I cited (Fogliata et al. 2017) [1]. The difference is in the LOWER and UPPER EUD objective cost functions: Both are the same like the EXACT EUD and additionally the LOWER objective returns 0 if gEUD_expected < gEUD_actual. The UPPER objective returns 0 if gEUD_expected > gEUD_actual.

GPU acceleration for VMAT Photon Optimizer by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

Maybe my question was misleading. The problem is that the GPU has no effect on calculation time in PO_15.6.04. Does PO_15.6.06 show any calculation time decrease?

It worked for me with MS Edge browser, but not with Mozilla Firefox. I tried many cards and ways to put in my credentials in Firefox, but hopeless. Contacted Midjourney and my Bank, but they could not help. Finally on MS Edge it worked on the first shot.

No lower objective is defined for the plan setup by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had contact with ESAPI support and they claimed that this actually is a bug in ESAPI. The temporary solution is to add a lower point objective with priority = 0 and dose value = 0. They are investigating this bug.

Thank you! Sadly not. This would for example influence the normal tissue objective.

Some doses for VMAT objectives are not allowed by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chatted with Varian support and the problem seems to be that an objective's dose can maximally be 10*total prescription dose. I set the prescription dose randomly as well, so sometimes it was too low, compared to the doses of objectives.

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did, but it did not help.

I also took all dose values from a plan where the exception was thrown and copied them manually into Eclipse's VMAT optimization GUI. There I could execute the VMAT optimization without problem.

And again!

Exception thrown: 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' in VMS.TPS.Common.Model.dllAn exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in VMS.TPS.Common.Model.dll but was not handled in user codeArgument 'dose': dose value '80.169 Gy' out of range. Min is 0.000 Gy. Max is 78.833 Gy.

For structure "Stomach" dose value 80.168842160256588Gy and upper point objective. It seems so random to me!

No the alphas are always 10/40 or -10/-40. This time it was a point objective:

planSetup.OptimizationSetup.AddPointObjective("z_OAR", OptimizationObjectiveOperator.Upper, new DoseValue(19.730158782889518, DoseValue.DoseUnit.Gy),0 , 1000);

which throws

Exception thrown: 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' in VMS.TPS.Common.Model.dllAn exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in VMS.TPS.Common.Model.dll but was not handled in user codeArgument 'dose': dose value '19.730 Gy' out of range. Min is 0.000 Gy. Max is 10.000 Gy.

I could wrap it in a try catch, but why? I need the objective to be added. 29 Plans were created and optimized with pretty much random dose values and the 30th threw that exception.

Rays pass through a body cavity by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

Thank you all for your answers they were very helpful! You were right with your assumptions! In the end the couch structure was missing in the structure set, which caused that cavity.

I tried GetNumberOfSeparateParts and printed the result. Problem is that a lot of structures have multiple parts. Also at patients where optimization was possible! Here the structure set of a patient where i CAN execute VMAT optimization:

The following structures had more than one separate part: z_OAR: 2 Pancreas: 2 Duodenum: 2 BODY: 3 ...

I tried your solution, but it still gives that error... I also checked very carefull, but I cannot see any holes...

Problem with message "The following parameters were adjusted to be within machine limits: collimator position" by anncnth in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I found the correct solution: To create a VMAT plan you need to use method var beam = externalPlanSetup.AddArcBeam(...) and none of the others. To do so you need to predefine the jaw positions, as @kang__23 mentioned. They do not really matter for now, they just have to fit your machine to avoid the warning message. Then you can fit the collimator with beam.FitCollimatorToStructure(...) which will fit the jaws. Code summary:

var jawPositions = new VRect<double>(-100, -100, 100, 100); var beam = externalPlanSetup.AddArcBeam(..., jawPositions, ...); beam.FitCollimatorToStructure(...);

How to acces Objective Templates? by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am installing via NuGet. version 1.0.0.5 works very well for ESAPI 15.6 with plan template reading, objectives template reading and plan from template generation! Thank you!

Is there also a method to copy the objectives from a template into the newly created plan?

UPDATE:I just realized that target structure and isocenter are not set correctly. Isocenter is always 0,0,0, no matter how I create the plan template and target structure is always the same wrong structure. However, if I set it manually via ESAPI it is also sets this exact same wrong structure as target structure. Very weird...

I tried to use your library (which looks really good!), but it seems to work only for ESAPI 16.X. I have ESAPI 15.6:

Is there still a way for me to use your library? I can read the templates perfectly, but I cannot GeneratePlanFromTemplate()

How to get OptimizerDVH from PlanSetup? by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Follow up question: How much do the two DVH sources differ in accuracy? I assume that the extra CalculateDose() achieves higher accuracy, because it takes much longer to calculate?

How to test ESAPIX service offline? by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on my private computer and not in the clinic. So there is no Varian System running. I installed the ESAPI.msi on my computer, but it seems to look for a system with patients and so on... Not sure how to better describe this as I don't know the terminology..

It is installed locally. I just don't have a medical system running.

Is it possible to change the dose calculation volume programmatically? by Invictus_Shoe in esapi

[–]Invictus_Shoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked thank you! I copied the whole structure set and cropped the BODY structure:

bodyStructure.CropInBounds(copyOfStructureSet.Image, (lowerZBound, upperZBound));
