    摘要: Example methods for adaptive radiotherapy treatment planning using deep learning engines are provided. One example method may comprise obtaining treatment image data associated with a first imaging modality and planning image data associated with a second imaging modality. The treatment image data may be acquired during a treatment phase of a patient. Also, planning image data associated with a second imaging modality may be acquired prior to the treatment phase to generate a treatment plan for the patient. The method may also comprise: in response to determination that an update of the treatment plan is required, processing, using the deep learning engine, the treatment image data and the planning image data to generate output data for updating the treatment plan.

    摘要: A control circuit accesses historical information regarding previously optimized radiation treatment plans for different patients and processes that information to determine the relative importance of different clinical goals. The circuit then facilitates development of a particular plan for a particular patient as a function of the relative importance of the clinical goals. By one approach the control circuit can be configured as a radiation treatment plan recommendation resource that accesses a database of radiation treatment plan formulation content items including at least one of a radiation treatment plan template, an auto-planning algorithm, and an auto-segmentation algorithm. By one approach the control circuit can be configured to, when presenting automatically-generated radiation treatment plans to a user, also co-present an opportunity for the user to signal to a remote entity that none of the plans are acceptable and that the user will instead employ a user-generated plan for the particular patient.

    摘要: Example methods and systems for generating dose estimation models for radiotherapy treatment planning are provided. One example method may comprise obtaining model configuration data that specifies multiple anatomical structures based on which dose estimation is performed by a dose estimation model. The method may also comprise obtaining training data that includes a first treatment plan associated with a first past patient and multiple second treatment plans associated with respective second past patients. The method may further comprise: in response to determination that automatic segmentation is required for the first treatment plan, performing automatic segmentation on image data associated with the first past patient to generate an improved first treatment plan, and generating the dose estimation model based on the improved first treatment plan and the multiple second treatment plans.

    摘要: A control circuit provides an opportunity via a user interface for a user to specify at least one custom DVH estimation model training feature. The control circuit then combines a predetermined set of DVH estimation model training features with a user-specified customer DVH estimation model training feature to provide a combined feature set. The control circuit uses the combined feature set to train a knowledge-based DVH estimation model which is then used to provide a DVH estimation for use when developing/optimizing a radiation treatment plan. That resultant radiation treatment plan then controls a radiation-administration platform to provide a therapeutic radiation dose to a patient.

    摘要: Example methods for radiotherapy treatment planning are provided. One example method may include obtaining training data that includes multiple treatment plans associated with respective multiple past patients; and processing the training data to determine, from each of the multiple treatment plans, at least one of the following: first data associated with a particular past patient or a radiotherapy system for delivering radiotherapy treatment to the particular past patient, second data associated with treatment planning trade-off selected for the particular past patient and third data associated with radiation dose for delivery to the particular past patient. The method may also comprise: based on at least one of the first data, the second data and the third data, identifying one or more sub-optimal characteristics associated with the training data, obtaining improved training data and generating a dose estimation model based on the improved training data.
