Abstract: A control circuit generates an optimized radiation treatment plan with respect to an adjustable collimation device and then automatically generates at least one quality assurance accuracy value corresponding to the optimized radiation treatment plan. By one approach, the aforementioned plan comprises a plurality of treatment fields. In such a case, automatically generating at least one quality assurance accuracy value can comprise, at least in part, automatically generating at least one quality assurance accuracy value for each of at least a substantial number (or all) of those treatment fields. By one approach, the aforementioned quality assurance accuracy value comprises a dimensionless metric. This dimensionless metric may represent, for example, dosimetric accuracy corresponding to the optimized radiation treatment plan.

Abstract: A method for generating a radiation treatment plan is provided. The method may include determining a set of one or more optimization goals for radiation delivery by a therapeutic radiation delivery apparatus. The method may also include determining a plan for radiation delivery from a radiation source of the therapeutic radiation delivery apparatus. The radiation source may be capable of continuously rotating around a subject. The plan may include a plurality of radiation segments. Each radiation segment may be characterized by at least one parameter selected from a start angle, a stop angle, a two-dimensional segment shape, or a segment MU value such that the plurality of radiation segments satisfy the set of one or more optimization goals by superimposing at least two radiation segments from at least two different rotations into a target volume of the subject.

Abstract: A multi-layer multi-leaf collimation system includes at least a two layers of collimation leaves. The first multi-leaf collimator layer is configured to primarily perform a first function to affect a radiation beam traveling from a radiation source to a target and a second multi-leaf collimator layer is configured to primarily perform a second function, different from the first function, to affect the radiation beam for the administration of a treatment plan.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for adjusting a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) in a treatment process according to a treatment plan or a portion thereof. The method may comprise: moving one or more leaves of a multi leaf collimator (MLC), and forming one or more closed leaf pairs in moving process, the moving including: obtaining an offset for each closed leaf pair of the one or more closed leaf pairs, wherein the offset is no larger than a predetermined threshold, and the predetermined threshold is determined in a treatment planning process that generates a radiation treatment plan; and causing the one or more closed leaf pairs to move based on one or more offsets corresponding to the one or more closed leaf pairs, before or during a implementation of the radiation treatment plan.

Abstract: A memory has stored therein a fluence map that corresponds to a particular patient and a deep learning model. The deep learning model is trained to deduce a leaf sequence for a multi-leaf collimator from a fluence map. The deep learning model comprises a neural network model that was trained, at least in part, via a reinforcement learning method. A control circuit accesses the memory and is configured to iteratively optimize a radiation treatment plan to administer the therapeutic radiation to the patient by, at least in part, generating a leaf sequence as a function of the deep learning model and the fluence map by employing a plurality of agents to each separately use the deep learning model to each generate a leaf sequence for only a single leaf pair of the multi-leaf collimator.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for adjusting a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) in a treatment process according to a treatment plan or a portion thereof. The MLC may include at least one closed leaf pair in the treatment process. The method may include: for each of the at least one closed leaf pair, determining an offset for the closed leaf pair; and causing the at least one closed leaf pair to move based on the determined at least one offset before or during the treatment process.

Abstract: Methods of beam angle optimization for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment include determining beam's eye view (BEV) regions and a BEV region connectivity manifold by evaluating dose response of each region of interest for each vertex in a delivery coordinate space (DCS). The information contained in the BEV regions and the BEV region connectivity manifold is used to guide an optimizer to find optimal field geometries in the IMRT treatment. To improve the visibility of insufficiently exposed voxels of planning target volumes (PTVs), a post-processing step may be performed to enlarge certain BEV regions, which are considered for exposing during treatment trajectory optimization.

Abstract: A cost function is constructed so as to guide an optimization process to achieve similar coverage for all targets simultaneously in a concurrent radiation treatment of multiple targets, so that a single scaling factor may be used in a plan normalization to achieve the desired coverage for all the targets. The cost function includes a component that favors a solution that attains similar target coverages for all targets, as well as a component that favors a solution that approaches the desired target coverage value for each individual target. The cost function includes a max term relating to deficiencies of actual target coverages with respect to a desired target coverage, or alternatively a soft-max term relating to deviations of actual target coverages with respect to an average target coverage, as well as to deficiencies of actual target coverages with respect to a desired target coverage.

Abstract: Collision free regions are predetermined for one or more class solutions. Each class solution has defined limits for allowed field geometry variations. Collision free regions in planning can be defined as a set of allowed isocenter positions relative to a fixation device. The collision free regions may be visualized by a user to plan for field geometry and isocenter position tradeoffs. Collision free regions in delivery can be defined as a set of allowed couch support coordinates. The treatment fields in a radiation treatment plan can be checked against the collision free regions in delivery to determine whether they will pose any collision risks.
