Abstract:
A method of determining treatment geometries for a radiotherapy treatment includes providing a patient model having one or more regions of interest (ROIs); defining a delivery coordinate space (DCS); for each beam's eye view (BEV) plane of each vertex in the DCS, and for each ROI, evaluating a dose of the ROI using transport solutions; evaluating a BEV scores of each pixel of the BEV plane using the doses of the one or more ROIs; determining one or more BEV regions in the BEV plane based on the BEV scores; determining a BEV region connectivity manifold based on the BEV regions; determining a set of treatment trajectories based on the BEV region connectivity manifold; and determining one or more IMRT fields. Each treatment trajectory defines a path through a set of vertices in the DCS. Each IMRT field defines a direction of incidence corresponding to a vertex in the DCS.
