Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting radiation dose distribution and planning a radiotherapy treatment are disclosed. An exemplary system includes a memory to store a computational model (such as a trained machine learning model), a dose prediction engine to predict a dose profile, and a treatment planning circuit. The dose prediction engine executes a dose simulation to determine a preliminary dose profile at a first statistical uncertainty level, applies the determined preliminary dose profile to the computational model to predict a refined dose profile at a second statistical uncertainty level lower than the first statistical uncertainty level. Based at least in part on refined dose profile, the treatment planning system can generate or update a radiotherapy treatment plan for use in a radiation treatment session.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and diagnosing faults in a radiotherapy system, such as a fault related to a dynamic leaf guide (DLG), are discussed. An exemplary predictive maintenance system includes a processor configured to receive machine data indicative of configuration and operation of a DLG in a target radiotherapy machine, apply a trained deep learning model to the received machine data, and detect and diagnose a DLG fault. The predictive maintenance system can train the deep learning model using data sequences constructed from the received machine data of the one more normal DLGs and the one or more faulty DLGs. Diagnosis of the DLG fault in the target radiotherapy machine includes classifying the DLG faults into different fault types or different fault severities.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a beam model for radiotherapy treatment planning are discussed. An exemplary system includes a memory to store a trained deep learning model, and a processor circuit to generate a beam model. The deep learning model can be trained to establish a relationship between machine scanning data and values of beam model parameters, and validated for accuracy. The processor circuit can receive machine scanning data indicative of a configuration or an operation status of the radiation therapy device, apply the machine scanning data to the trained deep learning model to determine values for the beam model parameters, and generate a beam model based on the determined values of the plurality of beam model parameters. The beam model may be provided to a user, or a treatment planning system.
