One of the biggest concerns in external treatment planning is the collision avoidance of the treatment Linear Accelerator (LINAC®) components such as gantry (G), table (T), collimator (C), and any other auxiliary components such as fixation devices etc, with the patient. Some external treatment plans require complex components of the above GTC combinations.We are presenting a preliminary design and implementation of a 3D-graphical tool for the detection of potential gantry-collimator-couch collisions in external treatment planning. The graphical tool uses the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to model the exact geometry of any treatment machine by reading its manufacturer's CAD design files. Unlike other anti-collision methods developed so far in the literature, our tool would be able to model the details of the treatment linac and add-on devices for patient-specific setups. Hence, the tool will create patient-specific realistic collision map for any external treatment scenario. The tool can be used as a stand-alone program or embedded in the Eclipse treatment planning system.
