Problems solved by technology

[0003] Intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology has improved the curative effect of patients, improved the quality of life of patients after treatment, and effectively increased the treatment gain ratio. However, affected by factors such as optimization methods, methods, and human factors, most radiotherapy centers control the organs at risk within a limited range. However, due to the lack of effective prediction and evaluation methods, the final absorbed dose to organs at risk is more dependent on the experience of each radiotherapy unit, and the absorbed dose has not been minimized

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for constructing a prediction mathematic model for organ-at-risk adsorbed dose in intensity modulated radiation therapy. The method comprises the steps of 1, dividing an organ-at-risk into n sub-organs, and obtaining the normalization volume Vn/VOAR of the n sub-organ; 2, obtaining the normalization adsorbed dose Dn10-n100 of the organ-at-risk according to an intensity modulated therapy plan; 3, obtaining the prediction mathematic model according to the normalization volume Vn/VOAR of the n sub-organ and normalization adsorbed dose Dn10-n100 of the organ-at-risk. According to the method, organ-at-risk adsorbed dose is predicted before making the intensity modulated therapy plan; the method is simple and practical, data are easy to acquire, the prediction mathematic model for organ-at-risk adsorbed dose in intensity modulated radiation therapy can be constructed by most radiotherapy units by means of the method based on an existing treatment plan system, and the method is suitable for wide application and popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical radiotherapy, in particular to a method for constructing a mathematical model for predicting absorbed dose to organs at risk in intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Background technique [0002] Tumor radiotherapy is a local treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors. It is mainly used for malignant tumors. Statistics show that about 50%-70% of cancer patients need to receive radiation therapy to varying degrees. The basic purpose of radiotherapy is to increase the therapeutic gain ratio of radiotherapy, that is, to maximize the dose of radiation to the target area, kill tumor cells, and reduce or avoid unnecessary irradiation of surrounding normal tissues. Conformal radiation therapy is a more effective physical method to improve the treatment gain ratio. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, that is, intensity-modulated conformal radiation therapy, is a type of conformal radiation ther...
