    Abstract: An automated treatment planning system having a planning image memory (14) which stores a volume diagnostic image; a user interface device (32) configured for a user to input data defining a plurality of regions of interest within the volume diagnostic image; and one or more processors. The processors are configured to receive the volume diagnostic image and plurality of user-defined regions of interest indicated within the volume diagnostic image; map the plurality of regions of interest to the body atlas (35) to determine anatomical locations within the plurality of regions of interest; map each region of interest of the plurality of regions of interest to the body atlas to select correct corresponding anatomical structures; receive a treatment plan template based upon the anatomical structures from a knowledge base (36). A planning module (38) is configured to generate a treatment plan using the treatment plan template.

    Abstract: A therapy planning system and method generate an optimal treatment plan accounting for changes in anatomy. Therapy is delivered to the subject according to a first auto-planned optimal treatment plan based on a first image of a subject. A second image of the subject is received after a period of time. The second image is registered with the first image to generate a deformation map accounting for physiological changes. The second image is segmented into regions of interest using the deformation map. A mapped delivered dose is computed for each region of interest using the dose delivery goals and the deformation map. The first treatment plan is merged with the segmented regions of the second image and the mapped delivered dose during optimization.

    Abstract: An achievability estimate is computed for an intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) geometry (32) including a target volume, an organ at risk (OAR), and at least one radiation beam. Namely, a geometric complexity (GC) metric is computed for the IMRT geometry that compares a number NT of beamlets of the at least one radiation beam available in the IMRT geometry for irradiating the target volume and a number n of these beamlets that also pass through the OAR. A GC metric ratio is computed of the GC metric for the IMRT geometry and the GC metric for a reference IMRT geometry for which an IMRT plan is achievable. If the clinician is satisfied with this estimate then optimization (38) of an IMRT plan for the IMRT geometry (32) is performed. Alternatively, a reference IMRT geometry is selected by comparing the GC metric with GC metrics of past IMRT plans.

    Abstract: A radiation therapy planning system (10) includes an isodose line unit (36), a region of interest unit (52), and an optimization unit (58). The isodose line unit (36) receives isodose lines planned for a volume of a subject. The region of interest unit (52) defines at least one isodose region of interest based on the received isodose lines. The optimization unit (58) generates an optimized radiation therapy plan based on the at least one defined isodose region of interest and at least one dose objective for the defined region of interest.

    Abstract: In radiation treatment planning, a plurality of optimization loops are performed. In each optimization loop computes a dose distribution (60) in a patient represented by a planning image (42) with regions of interest (ROIs) defined in the planning image. Weights (64) for objective functions (50) are determined from objective function value (OFV) goals (52) for the objective functions. An optimized dose distribution is produced by adjusting the plan parameters to optimize the computed dose distribution respective to composite objective function (62). At least one optimization loop may include updating (70) at least one OFV goal to be used in at least the next performed optimization loop. At least one optimization loop may include updating an objective function quantifying compliance with a target dose for a target ROI based on a comparison of a metric of coverage of the target ROI and a desired coverage of the target ROI.

    Abstract: A method for reviewing a treatment plan (24) for delivering radiation therapy to a patient. The treatment plan (24) includes geometric analysis data, dose distribution analysis data, dose volume histogram data, parametric analysis data or deliverability analysis data of a patient. First, for the treatment plan (24), a plurality of clinical and delivery goals are identified (20, 22). Next, goal data points are extracted (26) from the treatment plan (24). Then, data points are correlated (28) to identify deficiencies in the treatment plan (24). A report is generated (30) to display on a display (10) the correlated data points using visual markings (84) to highlight identified deficiencies. Text and audio notations can be attached to the report to explain the correlations and warn a user of plan deficiencies.
