    摘要: A computing system and related method for supporting in particular adaptive radiation therapy. An input interface (IN) of the system receives an input image. A machine learning module (MLM) predicts, based on the input image, a predicted dose distribution associated with a first planning technique or a first treatment modality. A comparator (COMP) compares a planned dose distribution as per a current treatment plan with the predicted dose distribution, to obtain a comparison result. The result allows user to gauge whether an actual re-planning would yield a dosimetric benefit before committing time or computational resources.

    摘要: A radiation planning system includes a predictor-corrector optimizer unit which computes a predicted dose based on a collection of control points with a current approximate dose, each control point with a corresponding set of leaf positions, and determines an additional control point with a corresponding set of leaf positions based on a difference of the predicted fluence and the current approximate fluence through a least cost or shortest path in a layered graph structure of realizable leaf positions. Tools are described to help a planner to evaluate the effect of parameter changes to the current plan based on an identified zone of influence. The planner interactively views the current plan based on a visualization of the plan objectives and correlations between the objectives.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining a single training image from a set of training images in a data repository. The method further includes generating an initial tissue class atlas based on the obtained single training image. The initial tissue class atlas includes two or more different tissue class images corresponding to two or more different tissue classes. The method further includes registering the remaining training images of the set of training images to the initial tissue class atlas. The method further includes generating a quality metric for each of the registered images. The method further includes evaluating the quality metric of each of the registered image with a predetermined evaluation criterion. The method further includes identifying a sub-set of images from the set of training images that satisfy the evaluation criterion. The method further includes generating a subsequent tissue class atlas based on the identified sub-set of the set of training images.

    摘要: A system and a method are provided for enabling a user to interactively navigate through a set of slice images, the set of slice images jointly representing an image volume showing an anatomical structure of a patient. A user may be enabled to switch from a static viewing mode to a navigation mode based on navigation commands received from a user input device operable by the user. A display processor may be configured for, in the static viewing mode, generating an output image comprising one slice image of the set of slice images. The display processor may be configured for, in the navigation mode, replacing the said one slice image in the output image by a volume rendering of a slab of the image volume, the slab comprising more than one slice image. The system and method thus selectively switch to volume rendering, namely during navigation, whereas in a static (i.e., non-navigation) viewing mode, a slice image is shown. Advantageously, the user may thus follow structures more accurately when navigate through a volume image, thereby more quickly and accurately identifying slice images of interest.

    摘要: The invention relates to a planning system (7) for planning a volumetric modulated arc radiation therapy procedure, wherein the volumetric modulated arc radiation therapy procedure includes rotating a radiation source (2), which is configured to emit a radiation beam (3) for treating a subject (4), along an arc around the subject, in order to apply the radiation beam to the subject in different treatment directions. A sequence of sub-arcs groups is provided, wherein a respective sub-arcs group comprises several sub-arcs of the arc, which are evenly distributed along the arc, wherein a treatment plan is generated by sequentially determining for each sub-arcs group treatment parameters, which define a property of the radiation beam, in the provided sequence. Determining the treatment parameters by using this sequence leads to an increased likelihood that really an optimal treatment plan is generated.
