title: [Development of a Software for Automatically Generated Contours in Eclipse TPS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The automatic generation of planning targets and auxiliary contours have achieved in Eclipse TPS 11.0.
  
  
  METHODS
  The scripting language autohotkey was used to develop a software for automatically generated contours in Eclipse TPS. This software is named Contour Auto Margin (CAM), which is composed of operational functions of contours, script generated visualization and script file operations. RESULTS Ten cases in different cancers have separately selected, in Eclipse TPS 11.0 scripts generated by the software could not only automatically generate contours but also do contour post-processing. For different cancers, there was no difference between automatically generated contours and manually created contours.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The CAM is a user-friendly and powerful software, and can automatically generated contours fast in Eclipse TPS 11.0. With the help of CAM, it greatly save plan preparation time and improve working efficiency of radiation therapy physicists.
