This invention discloses a method, device, and equipment for evaluating
dose limits for organs at risk in tumor radiotherapy planning based on spatial
distance analysis, relating to the field of tumor radiotherapy technology. Specifically, based solely on geometric statistics, before
dose calculation, a three-dimensional
Euclidean distance transformation is used to obtain the
shortest distance distribution from all voxels of the organs at risk to the target area after anisotropic normalization, directly forming an individualized
dose limit and weight template. The output of this invention is a distance-
voxel histogram and its derived cumulative proportions and rates of change, from which several geometric indicators are extracted. Combined with a preset set of geometric rules, individualized suggestions for dose limit thresholds and optimization weights corresponding to different doses are directly obtained. Compared with existing technologies, this invention does not perform
dose prediction, nor does it require generating auxiliary contours or performing forward / backward dose calculations. Instead, it provides individualized and
executable dose limit and weight suggestions before
dose calculation, significantly reducing optimization iterations and improving consistency, with highly interpretable results.
