Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of deep learning technology, specifically to a method for verifying radiotherapy plan dose distribution based on deep learning. Background Technology

[0002] A radiotherapy plan is a detailed treatment plan developed before radiotherapy. It uses medical imaging to determine the spatial location of the tumor target area and surrounding organs at risk, and calculates the radiation beam parameters based on the principles of radiation physics. It plans a radiation dose distribution scheme that can effectively kill tumor cells while maximally protecting normal tissues. The reason for verifying the dose distribution of the radiotherapy plan is to ensure that the actual irradiation dose is highly consistent with the plan design. Any deviation may lead to failure of tumor control or irreversible damage to normal tissues. Especially in complex techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, the dose distribution pattern is variable. It is necessary to strictly verify to eliminate the risks caused by machine execution errors, limitations of calculation models, and changes in patient anatomy. Currently, the existing publication CN 110085298 B describes a method for predicting the three-dimensional dose distribution of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans based on deep learning. This method includes: collecting effective IMRT planning data to form a case database; extracting the three-dimensional anatomical contour features of the region of interest (ROI) for each patient from the case database; dividing the three-dimensional anatomical contour of the ROI into several two-dimensional contour slices; extracting the dose features of each patient from the case database and dividing them into several two-dimensional dose slice distribution maps; constructing a deep convolutional network, inputting the patient's two-dimensional contour slices and the corresponding two-dimensional dose slice distribution maps, and obtaining a correlation model between the anatomical contour features and dose features through model training; and using the trained correlation model to predict the three-dimensional dose distribution of new patients. While this method can effectively obtain the correlation between anatomical features and dose features, improving the accuracy of dose prediction, it is time-consuming (lasting several hours to days) and can only sample a portion of the slices, failing to comprehensively assess the three-dimensional dose field. Furthermore, manual inspection is susceptible to subjective experience and may miss subtle abnormalities, lacking the ability to quantitatively predict risks in complex cases.

[0003] In summary, a deep learning-based method for verifying radiotherapy planning dose distribution is needed to address the aforementioned issues. Summary of the Invention
