Abstract：Objective To realize the interactive form evaluation of radiotherapy dose and the automatic calculation of conformity index (CI) and heterogeneity index (HI) in the Eclipse planning system. Methods The Eclipse Scripting API application development interface and C# programming language were employed to develop it with script plug-ins combined with independent programs. The visual interface programming and call the relevant dose query function in the API were utilized to realize the interactive table dose evaluation and the automatic calculation of HI. The functions of calling dosage structure creation and structure Boolean operation in the API were adopted to realize the automatic calculation of CI. Results 15 clinical radiotherapy cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were selected. The dose evaluation results were statistically compared between this method and the module equipped in the Eclipse system. The results showed that the accuracy was consistent between these two methods (P>0.05), whereas the evaluation efficiency of this method was significantly higher compared with that of the Eclipse system module (P<0.05). Conclusions The interactive evaluation form in this article has a friendly interface, which allows users to more conveniently perform dose assessment, multi-plan comparison, and calculation of CI and HI, which effectively improves work efficiency and can better serve the clinical and scientific research work of radiotherapy.
