RADIATION THERAPY PLANNING USING DEEP CONVOLUTIONAL NETWORK

摘要

Systems and methods can include a method for training a deep convolutional neural network to provide a patient radiation treatment plan, the method comprising collecting patient data from a group of patients, the patient data including at least one image of patient anatomy and a prior treatment plan, wherein the treatment plan includes predetermined machine parameters, and training a deep convolution neural network for regression by using the prior treatment plans and the corresponding collected patient data to determine a new treatment plan. Systems and methods can also include a method of using a deep convolutional neural network to provide a radiation treatment plan, the method comprising retrieving a trained deep convolution neural network previously trained on patient data from a group of patients, collecting new patient data, wherein the new patient data includes at least one image of patient anatomy, and determining a new treatment plan for the new patient using the trained deep convolutional neural network for regression, wherein the new treatment plan has a new set of machine parameters.
