    摘要: The invention relates to a system and a method for assisting in planning a radiation therapy treatment, the treatment being delivered on the basis of a treatment plan including error-prone parameter values of first treatment parameters. In the system, a robustness evaluation unit (10) obtains planned parameter values of the first treatment parameters, generates perturbed parameter configurations including perturbed values of the first treatment parameters, the perturbed parameter values deviating from the planned parameter values by possible error values of the first treatment parameters occurring during the treatment, and estimates for each perturbed parameter configuration a radiation dose distribution resulting from a treatment delivered on the basis of the perturbed parameter configuration and/or determines the treatment plan on the basis of the perturbed parameter configurations.

    摘要: The invention relates to a dynamic sliding-window-like initialization for, for example, iterative VMAT algorithms. Specifically, a dynamic sliding window conversion method is contemplated where typical dynamic VMAT constraints are taken into account to find an optimal set of suitable openings (i.e. binary masks) that can be used as quasi-feasible start initialization for any VMAT algorithm that can refine until a deliverable plan is reached. Here, a multileaf leaf tip trajectory least square constrained optimization is performed to find a set of optimal unidirectional trajectories for all MLC leaf pairs of all arc points. To ensure that a quasi-feasible (or better quasi-deliverable) solution is returned, for example, a maximum dose rate, a maximum gantry speed, a maximum leafs speed, and a maximum treatment time may be enforced.

    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.
