  • Automatically-planned radiation-based treatment
    Patent number: 11478660
    Abstract: Deep learning approaches automatically segment at least some breast tissue images while non-deep learning approaches automatically segment organs-at-risk. Both three-dimensional CT imaging information and two-dimensional orthogonal topogram imaging information can be used to determine virtual-skin volume. The foregoing imaging information can also serve to automatically determine a body outline for at least a portion of the patient. That body outline, along with the virtual-skin volume and registration information can serve as inputs to automatically calculate radiation treatment platform trajectories, collision detection information, and virtual dry run information of treatment delivery per the optimized radiation treatment plan.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2022
    Assignee: Varian Medical Systems International AG
