SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT PLANNING USING CONTINUOUS QUALITY METRICS

摘要

A treatment planning apparatus include: a quality metric generator configured to electronically generate a first quality metric based on input received via a user interface; an optimizer configured to determine treatment parameters for a treatment plan that is executable by a processing unit of a treatment machine to operate the treatment machine, wherein the optimizer is configured to determine the treatment parameters for the treatment plan based on the first quality metric; and a controller configured to influence how the optimizer performs optimization, wherein the controller is configured to provide a first continuous function for the first quality metric.
