Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the first solution above, the sampling point is used as the adjustment unit, the number of adjustment objects is very large, the model complexity is high, and the model is not adjusted based on the optimization strategy, so it cannot be guaranteed that the DVH curve of some ROIs that are focused on will be certain. can be very close to the ideal curve
The second solution, their method is to manually adjust the plan through human experience, so it requires continuous trial and error, which is a cumbersome process. This kind of adjustment model based on the experience of physicists based on rules cannot guarantee its robustness.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a radiotherapy plan optimization system and device and a storage medium. The system comprises one or more processors and a storage device, wherein the storagedevice is used for storing instructions, and the processors are used for executing the instructions to achieve the following steps: a, acquiring an ideal dose volume histogram of a region of interest; b, performing first optimization based on the ideal dose volume histogram and the weight of the current region of interest, and determining a current dose volume histogram; c, performing second optimization based on the ideal dose volume histogram and the current dose volume histogram of the region of interest, determining the weight of the updated region of interest, returning the updated weight of the region of interest to the step b, and sequentially executing the first optimization and the second optimization until a termination condition is met. According to the invention, the weight ofthe current region of interest is automatically and efficiently adjusted to obtain a dose volume histogram curve meeting requirements, and the purpose of optimizing a radiotherapy plan is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image processing technologies, and in particular to a radiotherapy plan optimization system, device and storage medium. Background technique [0002] At present, the number of cancer patients is increasing day by day, and radiotherapy is currently the most commonly used method for direct or adjuvant treatment of cancer. Radiation therapy is a way of using ionizing radiation as a treatment. Its principle is that the energy generated by a large amount of radiation can damage the chromosomes of cells, stop the growth of cells, and eliminate cancer cells that can divide and grow rapidly. [0003] Before radiation therapy, a radiation therapy plan needs to be developed. In the prior art, there is an idea of ​​using an ideal dose volume histogram (Dose volume histogram, DVH) to guide plan adjustment. For example, Masoud Zarepisheh et al. described in their article "A DVH-guided IMRT optimization algorithm for ...
