  • Patent number: 11964169
    Abstract: A prescribing user can designate and prioritize clinical goals that can, in turn, serve as the basis for optimization objectives to guide the development of a radiation treatment plan. The prescribing user can then alter that prioritization of one or more clinical goals and view information regarding changes to fluence-based dose distributions that occur in response to those changes to relative prioritization amongst the clinical goals to thereby understand dosing tradeoffs that correspond to prioritization amongst the clinical goals.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230095485
    Abstract: A radiation treatment plan three-dimensional dose prediction machine learning model is trained using a training corpus that includes a plurality of radiation treatment plans that are not specific to a particular patient and wherein the training corpus includes some, but not all, possible patient volumes of interest. Information regarding the patient (including information regarding at least one volume of interest for the patient that was not represented in the training corpus) is input to the radiation treatment plan three-dimensional dose prediction machine model. The latter generates predicted three-dimensional dose distributions that include a predicted three-dimensional dose distribution for the at least one volume of interest that was not represented in the training corpus.
