Problems solved by technology

However, model-based algorithms still rely on approximations and only partially deal with physical processes in the microscopic domain involving microscopic absorption of energy delivered by radiation fields
Monte Carlo simulation calculates the dose distribution based on the computer simulation of the physical process of particles in the substance. It has high precision in the field of dose calculation and is often used to verify the accuracy of other dose calculation algorithms, but Monte Carlo dose calculation takes a long time. , it is difficult to meet the timeliness requirements in practical applications
In short, the current dose calculation method is difficult to achieve high precision and high efficiency at the same time

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the deep learning neural network is HD U-Net. figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the deep learning neural network structure of a robot radiotherapy equipment dose prediction method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figure 2As shown, HD U-Net contains five hierarchical structures to reduce the feature size. Through the 2×2×2 pooling layer (Pooling) between each layer, the feature map (Feature Map) is finally reduced to 6× at the bottom layer. 4×6 to learn local and global features. In each layer, a convolutional kernel of size 3×3×3 is used and zero padding is used to maintain the size of the feature. In the first half of HD U-Net, each convolution step generates 4 feature maps (filters). In the remaining half, except for the last convolution step, the number of feature maps per convolution layer increases by 4 from bottom to top. The last convolution step produces one channel as the final output. ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radiotherapy dose calculation, in particular to a dose prediction method of a robot radiotherapy equipment. Background technique [0002] Malignant tumors seriously endanger human health. Seventy percent of tumor patients need radiation therapy. Before radiation therapy, doctors will formulate a radiation therapy plan. Dose calculation is an important link in the process of radiotherapy planning, and the effectiveness of dose calculation determines the quality of radiotherapy planning. In the prior art, dose calculation methods are divided into three categories: factor-based algorithms, model-based algorithms, and Monte Carlo simulation. The factor-based algorithm uses a semi-empirical approach to address tissue heterogeneity and surface curvature based on efficient spatial dosimetry, has the advantage of being computationally fast, and does not require the distinction between the subsequent energy trans...
