Patents by Inventor Mikko Oskari HAKALA

Mikko Oskari HAKALA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240079113
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided which relate to the planning and delivery of radiation treatments by modalities which involve moving a radiation source along a trajectory relative to a subject while delivering radiation to the subject. An artificial intelligence (AI) agent trained using reinforcement learning (and/or some other suitable form of machine learning) is used to control the radiation delivery parameters in effort to achieve desired delivery of radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the AI agent selects suitable control steps (e.g. radiation delivery parameters for particular time steps), while accounting for patient motions, difference(s) in patient anatomical geometry and/or the like.

  • Patent number: 11529531
    Abstract: A reinforcement learning agent facilitates optimization of a radiation-delivery treatment plan. The reinforcement learning agent is configured to generate a radiation-delivery treatment plan that can exceed the quality of a plan or plans employed to train the reinforcement learning agent. The reinforcement learning agent is trained to evaluate a radiation-delivery treatment plan that is output by an optimization software application, modify one or more dose-volume objective parameters of the evaluated radiation-delivery treatment plan, and then input the modified radiation-delivery treatment plan to the optimization software application for further optimization. The reinforcement learning agent adaptively adjusts the one or more dose-volume objective parameters based on an action policy learned during a reinforcement learning training process.
