Abstract

The invention relates to the field of radiotherapy plan optimization, discloses a radiotherapy plan optimization system and method based on Monte Carlo tree search, and solves the problem that a radiotherapy plan optimization scheme in the traditional technology needs to rely on a large number of iterative trial and error and senior physicist experience. The method comprises the steps of: a. selecting a set of target parameters as initial value of a radiotherapy plan optimization process, and determining plan evaluation criteria for characteristics of a disease to be treated; b. circularly performing the Monte Carlo tree search operation in conjunction with the plan evaluation criteria until a set of optimized target parameters is obtained; c. performing dose calculation on the optimization target parameters, and checking whether a calculation result meets the optimization requirements; if yes, ending the process; and if not, proceeding to a step d; and d. slightly adjusting the set ofoptimization target parameters and returning to the step b. In addition, the present invention also discloses a radiotherapy plan optimization system based on the Monte Carlo tree search, and the system is suitable for automatic optimization of a radiotherapy plan.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of radiotherapy plan optimization, in particular to a radiotherapy plan optimization system and method based on Monte Carlo tree search. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy is a local treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors, and is one of the mainstream tumor treatment methods at present. Radiation includes α, β, γ rays produced by radioactive isotopes and x-rays, electron beams, proton beams and other particle beams produced by various x-ray therapy machines or accelerators. Currently, about 70% of cancer patients require radiation therapy as part of their cancer treatment. [0003] The radiation therapy plan is a specific implementation plan for controlling the position of the tumor of the patient irradiated by the accelerator. It is formulated by the physicist using the Treatment Planning System (TPS) according to the prescription dose target specified by the radiation doctor. Its goal is ...
