    摘要: A radiation planning system includes a predictor-corrector optimizer unit which computes a predicted dose based on a collection of control points with a current approximate dose, each control point with a corresponding set of leaf positions, and determines an additional control point with a corresponding set of leaf positions based on a difference of the predicted fluence and the current approximate fluence through a least cost or shortest path in a layered graph structure of realizable leaf positions. Tools are described to help a planner to evaluate the effect of parameter changes to the current plan based on an identified zone of influence. The planner interactively views the current plan based on a visualization of the plan objectives and correlations between the objectives.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a radiotherapy planning system (100) for determining a solution (101) corresponding to a fluence profile. The invention proposes to use a Pareto frontier navigator (140) to select the best plan from a set of various auto-planned solutions. An interactive graphical user interface (400) is provided to the planner to navigate among convex combinations of auto-planned solutions. This proposed Pareto plan navigation can be considered as a further optional refinement process, which can be applied to find the best plan in those cases where auto-generated solutions are not fully satisfying the planner's requirements. The navigation tool (400) moves locally through a set of auto-generated plans and can potentially simplify the planner's decision making process and reduce the whole planning time on complex clinical cases from several hours to minutes.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device for determining illumination distributions (18) for IMRT. A layered graph structure is used, which considers which extensions of an illumination distribution along a respective line and thus which illumination distributions are realizable, for determining extensions for the illumination distributions. Moreover, second weights defining fluences of the illumination distributions are determined such that a deviation between a provided fluence map and a fluence map formed by a combination of illumination distributions, which are defined by the respective determined extensions and the respective second weight, is minimized. This determination procedure leads to illumination distributions, which very well correspond to the provided fluence map and which are automatically realizable by the radiation device. This leads to an improved IMRT, wherein a post-processing of the determined illumination distributions for ensuring that the determined illumination distributions are really realizable is not necessarily required.
