Treatment planning standardization efforts were made for the Stereotactic Radiosurgery(SRS) program at the Jewish General Hospital, Montreal. A standardized dose objective template for SRS was made in collaboration with physicians in our clinic. A web based platform was made for radiotherapy research and data analysis. The web platform was made with considerations for ease of distribution and customizability. A plan report module was made for the web platform to automatically analyze dose statistics and generate SRS plan reports. The plan report module was well received by dosimetrists in our clinic and reduced the labour required in plan evaluation. A total of 35 approved treatment plans were imported into the web application for analysis. A quantitative metric, Quality Index (QI), was developed to measure SRS plan compliance to the standardized plan evaluation template.
