Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical radiotherapy, and particularly to a nomogram model construction method and system for evaluating a radiotherapy position fixation device. Background Art

[0002] During the radiotherapy of malignant tumors, precise positioning is crucial for implementing effective radiotherapy. In order to ensure precise radiotherapy of tumors, a position fixation device has become one of the essential tools. The setup error in radiotherapy is directly related to the repeatability of patient position fixation. A position fixation device with higher repeatability can effectively reduce the setup error, enabling the tumor target area to be accurately irradiated and improving the quality of radiotherapy. Research has confirmed that position fixation can reduce the setup error during radiotherapy by fixing the patient's body position and restricting the patient's movement during radiotherapy, ensuring that the tumor is accurately irradiated, improving the precision of radiotherapy, minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues to the greatest extent, and at the same time, selecting a suitable position fixation device can reduce the setup time.

[0003] After retrieval, based on the authorized publication number CN103055424A, it discloses a device and method for automatically registering and fusing radiotherapy efficacy evaluation based on CT / MRI dual-position scanning, belonging to the field of medical technology. The device includes a CT / MRI body, a CT / MRI scanning bed, a four-quadrant scanning plate, and a computer equipped with image registration and fusion software; the four-quadrant scanning plate is square, and two intersecting diagonal rods are embedded in the square diagonal; both ends of the two diagonal rods are sealed, and cavities are opened inside, and the cavities communicate with each other and are filled with grease; the computer is connected to the CT / MRI body; the method steps include the production and wearing of a head mold, the CT / MRI positioning assisted by the four-quadrant scanning plate, the CT / MRI positioning scan, the registration, fusion, and efficacy evaluation based on pixel points. The beneficial effect is to utilize pixel values to realize the automatic registration and fusion of arbitrary radiotherapy positioning scan images in dual positions, facilitating objective evaluation of radiotherapy efficacy by medical staff.

[0004] Currently, during the implementation of radiotherapy, it is necessary to ensure that the patient's radiotherapy position remains unchanged. At this time, it is necessary to use a position fixation device for auxiliary positioning. However, when using the position fixation device, there are still deviations in radiotherapy accuracy and poor patient comfort. Since radiotherapy is different from chemotherapy, after the basic radiotherapy is completed, the patient will leave the hospital, resulting in the hospital being unable to conduct timely and effective statistics on the patient's comfort. Moreover, regarding the feedback on radiotherapy accuracy, it is also impossible to communicate with the patient in a timely manner, resulting in the position fixation device only being able to be statistically analyzed through scattered data during long-term use, which causes certain errors in the long-term use by doctors and the treatment accuracy of different patients. Summary of the Invention

[0110] Clinical trials: By designing and implementing clinical trials, collect data on various indicators of patients before and after using the fixation device;

[0111] Questionnaire survey: Distribute questionnaires to patients to collect their subjective evaluations on aspects such as the comfort and operation convenience of the fixation device;

[0112] Imaging examination: Through CT and MR imaging examinations for image guidance before treatment, evaluate the stability and repeatability of the fixation device;

[0113] Economic analysis: Through cost-benefit analysis, evaluate the cost and economic benefits of the fixation device;

[0114] Step 3: Data analysis. Conduct statistical analysis on the collected data;

[0115] Descriptive statistics: Calculate descriptive statistics such as the mean and standard deviation of each indicator;

[0116] Correlation analysis: Analyze the correlation between different indicators to find out the key factors affecting the effect of the fixation device;

[0117] Regression analysis: Establish a regression model to predict the effect of the fixation device;

[0118] Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA): Considering multiple evaluation indicators comprehensively, through weight allocation and comprehensive scoring, obtain the final evaluation result;

[0119] Step 4: Model construction. Based on the results of data analysis, construct a comprehensive evaluation model;

[0120] Step 5: Model verification. Verify the constructed evaluation model to ensure its reliability and effectiveness;

[0121] The verification methods can include:

[0122] S1. Cross-validation: Divide the data set into a training set and a validation set, which are used for model construction and model verification respectively;

[0123] S2. Sensitivity analysis: Analyze the sensitivity of the model to changes in different parameters to ensure the robustness of the model;

[0129] Soft threshold method

[0130] The soft threshold method is an effective LASSO solution method that realizes feature selection and parameter estimation by applying the soft threshold function to each regression coefficient. The definition of the soft threshold function is as follows:

[0131] S(z, λ) = sign(z)·max(|z| - λ, 0)

[0132] where z is the regression coefficient and λ is the penalty term parameter. The role of the soft threshold function is to compress the regression coefficient less than λ to 0, thereby realizing feature selection.

[0133] Cyclic coordinate descent method

[0134] The cyclic coordinate descent method is an iterative algorithm that minimizes the LASSO objective function by cyclically updating each regression coefficient. In each iteration, other regression coefficients are fixed and only one regression coefficient is updated.

[0135] The specific steps are as follows:

[0136] 1. Initialize the regression coefficient β;

[0137] 2. For each regression coefficient β j , fix other regression coefficients β j , and update β j ;

[0138]

[0139] 3. Repeat step 2 until convergence.
