Abstract or Description
Treatment Planning Systems (TPS) are essential software tools used for radiation and proton therapy, which allow for radiation simulation, image processing, segmentation, plan optimization, and treatment plan assessment. OpenTPS is a Python-based, open-source TPS designed for innovation and acceleration in the fields of proton therapy and cancer research, available as a desktop application. However, existing TPS solutions, including OpenTPS, lack browser-based and implementations with cloud-access, limiting accessibility.
This project aims to adapt OpenTPS into a web-based application while maintaining, updating, or adding to its core functionalities and also providing a friendly user interface for researchers and users. The goal of the web application is to provide remote access, cloud accessibility and enhance collaboration with other software, products, and researchers. Using modern web frameworks, tools, and libraries, we will provide a user friendly interface for all users to explore treatment planning without installing extra software. Browser-based medical imaging software exists, thus a browser-based TPS will allow for ease of operations between software, pushing the potential for innovation in radiation therapy and TPS software.
The result of the project will be a scalable, accessible, and optimized web application that functions similar to the GUI from OpenTPS, and enables treatment planning systems and powerful simulations and calculations to be performed on any modern computer.

Adrian, thank you so much for your submission, this was really interesting! It’s amazing what you can do with python, html, and a good idea. My only tip for next time is that with specialized research like this, it can help lay-folk like myself read the poster a little better if you write out your acronyms the first time you use them, like you did with “Treatment Planning System.”
Do other open source software of this type exist yet that you’re drawing inspiration from, or is this the first of its kind?
