Verfahren zur erzeugung eines strahlentherapiebehandlungsplans für einen patienten, computerprogrammprodukt und computersystem

Abstract

A machine learning-based method of generating a radiotherapy treatment plan for a patient, comprises dose prediction and dose mimicking, wherein the dose prediction step involves using a machine learning system that has been trained to consider at least one optimality criterion related to physical or technical restrictions that will affect the delivery of the treatment plan. Thus, at least one of the factors that are normally taken into account in the dose mimicking step is introduced in the dose prediction step. The invention also relates to a method of training such a machine learning system for use in radiotherapy treatment planning, a computer program product and a computer system.
