Purpose: Consistency of nomenclature within radiation oncology is increasingly important as big data efforts and data sharing become more feasible. Automation of radiation oncology workflows depends on standardized contour nomenclature that enables toxicity and outcomes research, while also reducing medical errors and facilitating quality improvement activities. Recommendations for standardized nomenclature have been published in the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) report from Task Group 263 (TG -263). Transitioning to TG -263 requires creation and management of structure template libraries and retraining of staff, which can be a considerable burden on clinical resources. Our aim is to develop a program that allows users to create TG-263-compliant structure templates in English, Spanish, or French to facilitate data sharing. Methods and Materials: Fifty-three premade structure templates were arranged by treated organ based on an American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) consensus paper. Templates were further customized with common target structures, relevant organs at risk (OARs) (eg, spleen for anatomically relevant sites such as the gastroesophageal junction or stomach), subsite- specific templates (eg, partial breast, whole breast, intact prostate, postoperative prostate, etc) and brachytherapy templates. An informal consensus on OAR and target coloration was also achieved, although color selections are fully customizable within the program. Results: The resulting program is usable on any Windows system and generates template files in practice-specific Digital Imaging and Communications In Medicine (DICOM) or XML formats, extracting standardized structure nomenclature from an online database maintained by members of the TG -263U1, which ensures continuous access to up-to-date templates. Conclusions: We have developed a tool to easily create and name DICOM radiation therapy (DICOM-RT) structures sets that are TG-263-compliant for all planning systems using the DICOM standard. The program and source code are publicly available via GitHub to encourage feedback from community users for improvement and guide further development. (c) 2023 Published by Elsevier Inc.
