Using this solution, a total of 800 patients were automatically converted and pushed to ProKnow, a commercial cloud\u2010based RT\u2010PACS. An initial quality check was performed to verify that the data was converted and associated correctly. Twenty\u2010five random patients were then validated for each version of Pinnacle by reviewing plan name, the MU per beam, structures, max dose point, the number of beams, and the number of fractions. For each Pinnacle version, a 1%\/1\u00a0mm 3D gamma analysis between the Pinnacle exported and the Gateway converted RT dose for a random plan was performed. The amount of space and time required to archive Pinnacle plans to DICOM format was recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average patient Pinnacle TAR size was 687.38\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0599.62\u00a0MB and required 120\u00a0\u00b1\u00a049s to archive with an average conversion size of 155\u00a0\u00b1\u00a026\u00a0MB. A 2% initial archival error was observed that was remedied by repushing the affected patients to ProKnow. A conversion error rate of 0.5% was observed for the described validation process for the 200 patients plans. The average 1%\/1\u00a0mm 3D gamma analysis pass rate was 99.96%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gateway has been validated as a conversion solution of TAR data to DICOM for Pinnacle versions 7.4f, 8.0d, 8.0m, 9.0, 9.2, 9.8, 9.10, and 16.2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acm2.70222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,22]],"date-time":"2025-08-22T01:45:37Z","timestamp":1755827137000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Validating a framework for Pinnacle plan conversion and archival"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9140-9180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel D.","family":"Rusu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caiden","family":"Atienza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0117-2590","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blake R.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9356-8567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel J.","family":"St\u2010Aubin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7638-9599","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel E.","family":"Hyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology University of Iowa  Iowa City Iowa USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/acm2.13952"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","unstructured":"Elekta.com.Elekta further strengthens its Elekta ONE software suite with acquisition of Philips treatment planning patent portfolio\u2014Elekta.2024.
