Purpose: The purpose of this study was to predict and classify the gamma passing rate (GPR) value by using new features (3D dosiomics features and combined with plan and dosiomics features) together with a machine learning technique for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment plans. Methods and materials: A total of 888 patients who underwent VMAT were enrolled comprising 1255 treatment plans. Further, 24 plan complexity features and 851 dosiomics features were extracted from the treatment plans. The dataset was randomly split into a training/validation (80%) and test (20%) dataset. The three models for prediction and classification using XGBoost were as follows: (i) plan complexity features-based prediction method (plan model); (ii) 3D dosiomics feature-based prediction model (dosiomics model); (iii) a combination of both the previous models (hybrid model). The prediction performance was evaluated by calculating the mean absolute error (MAE) and the correlation coefficient (CC) between the predicted and measured GPRs. The classification performance was evaluated by calculating the area under curve (AUC) and sensitivity. Results: MAE and CC at gamma 2%/2 mm in the test dataset were 4.6% and 0.58, 4.3% and 0.61, and 4.2% and 0.63 for the plan model, dosiomics model, and hybrid model, respectively. AUC and sensitivity at gamma 2%/2 mm in test dataset were 0.73 and 0.70, 0.81 and 0.90, and 0.83 and 0.90 for the plan model, dosiomics model, and hybrid model, respectively. Conclusions: A combination of both plan and dosiomics features with machine learning technique can improve the prediction and classification performance for GPR. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
