Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for dose calculation in generating radiation treatment plans. A first dose calculated using a first set of fluence maps and a first (faster) dose predictionmodel is accessed. A second fluence map is accessed. The second fluence map is projected onto the first set of fluence maps to determine a set of scalars and a residual value. When the residual valuesatisfies a criterion, a second dose is calculated using the first dose prediction model, the set of scalars, and the second fluence map. When the residual value does not satisfy the criterion, the second dose is calculated using a second (more accurate) dose prediction model and the second fluence map.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to generation of radiation treatment plans. Background technique [0002] The use of radiation therapy to treat cancer is well known. In general, radiation therapy involves directing beams of high-energy proton, photon, or electron radiation ("therapeutic radiation") into a target volume (eg, a tumor or lesion). [0003] Before a patient is treated with radiation, a treatment plan specific to that patient is developed. By using simulations and optimizations based on past experience, the plan defines aspects of the treatment. For example, for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the plan may specify an appropriate beam type (eg, flat filterless type) and an appropriate beam energy. Other parts of the plan may specify, for example, the angle of the beam relative to the patient, beam shape, placement of bolus and shielding, and the like. In general, the goal of a treatment plan is to deliver sufficient...
