Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for radiotherapy. Embodiments of the present disclosure may receive a medical image including images of a target and an organ at risk (OAR). Some embodiments may also receive a target dose and a constraint on an OAR dose. Some embodiments may also generate a dose application plan based on the target dose and the constraint. Generation of the dose application plan may include determining a placement of an arc along which radiation is to be applied based on the target dose and a location of the target; dividing the arc into a plurality of segments; determining a dose rate associated with each segment; calculating a predicted OAR dose based on the determined dose rate; and comparing the predicted OAR dose with the constraint on the OAR dose to determine whether the predicted OAR dose satisfies the constraint on the OAR dose.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to radiation therapy or radiotherapy. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for dose planning in radiation therapy. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy is used to treat tumors in mammalian tissues such as the brain. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is one such radiation therapy technique by which high doses of radiation are delivered with high precision during short-term treatment of lesions positioned relative to a three-dimensional reference system. During SRS, multiple radiation beams are directed towards a target, such as a tumor, from different angles. These radiation beams converge at the isocenter. The tissue located at the isocenter receives a high dose, while the surrounding area receives a relatively low dose. Therefore, for an SRS system, it is critical to deliver the dose to a zone that conforms to the shape of the target. In this way, the target...
