  • Patent number: 11056243
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for radiotherapy treatment planning. For example, a method may generate a treatment plan for a patient. The method may receive training data reflecting radiotherapy treatment data. The training data may include a feature vector and a target vector. The method may further determine a training model based on the feature vector and the target vector. The method may further receive testing data associated with the patient. The testing data may include a descriptive feature vector. The method may further determine a therapy model based on the descriptive feature vector and the training model. The therapy model may be used to generate the treatment plan.

  • Patent number: 10762398
    Abstract: Techniques for the operation and use of a model that learns the general representation of multimodal images is disclosed. In various examples, methods from representation learning are used to find a common basis for representation of medical images. These include aspects of encoding, fusion, and downstream tasks, with use of the general representation and model. In an example, a method for generating a modality-agnostic model includes receiving imaging data, encoding the imaging data by mapping data to a latent representation, fusing the encoded data to conserve latent variables corresponding to the latent representation, and training a model using the latent representation. In an example, a method for processing imaging data using a trained modality-agnostic model includes receiving imaging data, encoding the data to the defined encoding, processing the encoded data with a trained model, and performing imaging processing operations based on output of the trained model.

  • Patent number: 10046177
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for radiotherapy. Embodiments of the present disclosure may receive a plurality of training data and determine one or more predictive models based on the training data. The one or more predictive models may be determined based on at least one of a conditional probability density associated with a selected output characteristic given one or more selected input variables or a joint probability density. Embodiments of the present disclosure may also receive patient specific testing data. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure may predict a probability density associated with a characteristic output based on the one or more predictive models and the patient specific testing data. Moreover, embodiments of the present disclosure may generate a new treatment plan based on the prediction and may use the new treatment plan to validate a previous treatment plan.
