    摘要: Embodiments described herein provide for recommending radiotherapy treatment attributes. A machine learning model predicts the preference of a medical professional and provides relevant suggestions (or recommendations) of radiotherapy treatment attributes for various categories of radiotherapy treatment. Specifically, the machine learning model predicts field geometry attributes from various field geometry attribute options for various field geometry attribute categories. The machine learning model is conditioned on patient data such as medical images and patient information. The machine learning model is trained in response to cumulative reward information associated with a medical professional accepting the provided/displayed recommendations.

    摘要: These teachings serve to facilitate radiating a treatment target in a patient during a radiation treatment session with a radiation treatment platform having a moving source of radiation and using an optimized radiation treatment plan. These teachings in particular provide for configuring the radiation treatment platform in a half-fan trajectory arrangement. These teachings then provide for beginning the radiation treatment session with the source of radiation in a first location and an isocenter for the treatment target in a first position. Then, during the radiation treatment session, these teachings provide for moving the source of radiation from that first location in synchronization with moving the isocenter from the aforementioned first position.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for iteratively training artificial intelligence models using reinforcement learning techniques. With each iteration, a training agent applies a random radiation therapy treatment attribute corresponding to the radiation therapy treatment attribute associated with previously performed radiation therapy treatments when an epsilon value indicative of a likelihood of exploration and exploitation training of the artificial intelligence model satisfies a threshold. When the epsilon value does not satisfy the threshold, the agent generates, using an existing policy, a first predicted radiation therapy treatment attribute, and generates, using a predefined model, a second predicted radiation therapy treatment attribute. The agent applies one of the first predicted radiation therapy treatment attribute or the second predicted radiation therapy treatment attribute that is associated with a higher reward. The agent iteratively repeats training the artificial intelligence model until the existing policy satisfies an accuracy threshold.

    摘要: A control circuit access information corresponding to patient geometry information for a particular patient. The control circuit then provides that information, along with at least one variable that is unrelated to that particular patient, as input to a field geometry generator. The field geometry generator can comprise a neural network trained in a conditional generative adversarial networks (GAN) framework as a function of previously-developed field geometry solutions for a plurality of different patients. In such a case the information corresponding to the patient geometry information for the particular patient can serve as conditional input to the neural network. So configured, the control circuit can then process the foregoing input using the field geometry generator to thereby generate the therapeutic radiation delivery field geometry for the particular patient.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for identifying radiation therapy treatment data for patients. A processor accesses a neural network trained based on a first set of data generated from characteristic values of a first set of patients that received treatment at one or more first radiotherapy machines. The processor executes the neural network using a second set of data comprising characteristic values of a second set of patients receiving treatment at one or more second radiotherapy machines. The processor executes a calibration model using an output of the neural network based on the second set of data to output a calibration value. The processor executes the neural network using a set of characteristics of a first patient to output a first confidence score associated with a first treatment attribute. The processor then adjusts the first confidence score according to the calibration value to predict the first treatment attribute.

    摘要: Image information regarding a particular patient is provided, which image information includes, at least in part, a tumor to be irradiated. These teachings can also include providing non-image clinical information that corresponds to the particular patient. A control circuit accesses the foregoing image information and non-image clinical information and automatically generates a clinical target volume that is larger than the tumor as a function of both the image information and the non-image clinical information. The control circuit can then generate a corresponding radiation treatment plan based upon that clinical target volume, which plan can be utilized to irradiate the clinical target volume.
