title: [Preliminary application of scripting in RayStation TPS system].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Discussing the basic application of scripting in RayStation TPS system.
  
  
  METHODS
  On the RayStation 3.0 Platform, the programming methods and the points should be considered during basic scripting application were explored with the help of utility scripts. The typical planning problems in the field of beam arrangement and plan outputting were used as examples by ironprthon language.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The necessary properties and the functions of patient object for script writing can be extracted from RayStation system. With the help of NET controls, planning functions such as the interactive parameter input, treatment planning control and the extract of the plan have been realized by scripts.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With the help of demo scripts, scripts can be developed in RayStation, as well as the system performance can be upgraded.
