  • Patent number: 11806551
    Abstract: A treatment planning prediction method to predict a Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) or Dose Distribution (DD) for patient data using a machine-learning computer framework is provided with the key inclusion of a Planning Target Volume (PTV) only treatment plan in the framework. A dosimetric parameter is used as an additional parameter to the framework and which is obtained from a prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method outputs a Dose-Volume Histogram and/or a Dose Distribution for the patient including the prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method alleviates the complicated process of quantifying anatomical features and harnesses directly the inherent correlation between the PTV-only plan and the clinical plan in the dose domain. The method provides a more robust and efficient solution to the important DVHs prediction problem in treatment planning and plan quality assurance.

  • Patent number: 11727312
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating personalized recommendations to address a target problem. A machine learning prediction model directed to a target problem for an individual is built with historical data. After receiving data about the individual, a prediction for the individual is obtained in connection with the target problem by the built model using the received data about the individual. Key predictors (e.g., parameters) and their weight for the individual are generated using the prediction by an explanation model. Record(s) are identified from the historical data by performing similarity analysis of the historical data using the key predictors and their weight. Such records provide a population closely related to the individual with respect to the target problem. These records are then analyzed and recommendations are provided to a user to solve the target problem for the individual based on the analysis of the identified record(s).
