Requires Head First Supine superior series with rigid registration to inferior Feet First Supine Series in External Beam Planning

• no plan needed
• default CT slice thickness taken from existing scans but can be resampled
• progress bar is accurate, could take approximately 30 minutes to complete concatenation
• import fully merged CT series from output directory (i.e C:\Temp) when completed

• will automatically place all beams on full body image set
• will support single isocenter shifts head to foot (X fixed,Y fixed,Z changes)
• will also support additional lateral shifts for wider patients (X changes,Y fixed,Z changes)

• re-process CT series with desity of a structure overridden or "burned-in"

• supports either: C series / TrueBeam / Halcyon / Ethos

• copy and paste twice the complete plan created in HFS orientation with desired dose distribution head to foot

  • in one plan delete all beams/isocenters that will be treated HFS and the other plan FFS
  • DICOM export the plan that has only the inferior isocenters that is currently in the HFS orientation

• launch this tool, click the Aperture Rotation tab, and selected the exported plan file for aperture rotation

  • after aperture rotation script completes import new plan from subdirectory
  • calculate dose with fixed MUs
  • create a plan sum with superior plan
  • dose should be identical to initial completed plan

• breaks each isocenter group into separate plan, treatment approves plans and adds needed setup notes
