Abstract (en)
PLUNC is a medical 3D radiation treatment planning (RTP) system developed at the University of North Carolina for educational purposes. We are one of the users of this educational radiation treatment planning system in Kaunas University of Technology for medical physics students' from 2012 y. PLUNC is a portable, adaptable, and flexible software tool for RTP. The main advantages for our medical physics students using 3D RTP system PLUNC means: safe, realistic education process. It helps for the future professionals and „real patients" to find and discuss the most proper and optimized radiation treatment plan and irradiation technique, so it is easier to integrate the new practitioner in real clinical environment after graduation.
