The invention relates to an apparatus (18) for calculating an x-ray dose distribution within an object for a computed tomography examination. A primary flux determination unit (15) determines firstly a primary flux distribution within the object, wherein then this determined primary flux distribution is used as an initial total flux distribution by a total flux determination unit (16) while applying a six- flux model algorithm. This allows the determination of the total flux distribution to start with a relatively good first approximation of the total flux distribution such that the six- flux model algorithm can determine the total flux distribution very fast. The determined total flux distribution is finally used by a dose distribution determination unit (17) for determining a total dose distribution. The apparatus allows therefore for a very fast determination of x-ray dose distributions for computed tomography examinations.

A method and system for reducing localized artifacts in imaging data, such as motion artifacts and bone streak artifacts, are provided. The method includes segmenting the imaging data to identify one or more suspect regions in the imaging data near which localized artifacts are expected to occur, defining an artifact-containing region of interest in the imaging data around each suspect region, and applying a local bias field within the artifact-containing regions to correct for the localized artifacts.

A computing system (SYS) and relates method for supporting radiation therapy planning. An input interface (IF1; UI-I) is provided for receiving input radiation treatment plan templates, or types of such plan templates, for plural radiation treatment plans. A trained machine learning model (M) of the system (SYS) is configured to compute plural dose maps associated with the received radiation treatment plan templates or with the types of such plan templates.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for adaptive contouring of a body part. It is described to provide (210) at least one image; wherein, the at least one image comprises a first image comprising image data of a body part. An initial automatic model based segmentation of image data of the body part in the first image is determined (220). Final segmentation data of the body part is determined (230) in response to a modification of the initial automatic model based segmentation. An updated model based segmentation can be applied (240) on the basis of the initial automatic model based segmentation and the final segmentation data.

The invention relates to a system for assisting in evaluating a contour of an anatomic structure (22) with respect to a dose distribution corresponding to a treatment plan for a radiation therapy treatment of a patient. The system comprises an evaluation unit particularly configured to evaluate the dose distribution in varying distances from the contour of the anatomic structure (22) to determine at least one point where the evaluated dose distribution fulfills a predetermined condition, and to determine the distance between the at least one point and the contour and/or to visualize the at least one point to a user of the system.

The invention relates to a planning apparatus for planning a radiation therapy. A medical image, in which a target to be irradiated is indicated, is reformatted based on ray geometries to be used during the radiation therapy to be planned, resulting in several reformatted medical images. Radiation therapy parameters being indicative of intensities of rays 5 to be used for irradiating a target 4 are determined based on the reformatted medical images by using a neural network unit. This allows to determine high quality radiation therapy parameters and hence allows for an improved planning of a radiation therapy. In particular, radiation and absorptions physics can be captured better, which can lead to the improved quality.
