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
[0004] The existing predictive evaluation method extracts the dose information of each sampling point of organs at risk in the treatment plan, and establishes a prediction model for intensity-modulated radiotherapy. The prediction model is used to predict the dose-volume curve of organs at risk before making an intensity-modulated radiotherapy plan. The method to ensure the quality of the intensity-modulated radiotherapy plan is relatively complicated, and it is sold at a high price as a commercial software, so it is difficult to be widely and specifically applied in the preparation of the intensity-modulated radiotherapy plan

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 constructing a system 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 therapy. It requires that in ...
