Radiation treatment planning using subject-specific models
The patent US12014519B2 outlines a method and system for enhancing radiation treatment delivery through the use of target-subject-specific models. The method involves applying a first model to a treatment planning image to create a transformed image that corresponds to a specific position of the target subject. This model is then modified by adjusting hyper-parameters to generate a second model for a different position, which is used to control a radiation treatment delivery device. The treatment planning images can be three-dimensional (3-D) or four-dimensional (4-D), while the transformed images are two-dimensional (2-D). The method also includes constructing the initial model from various sources, including derived images, deformable registrations with other subjects, or synthesized atlas subjects.
Additionally, the patent describes a radiation treatment delivery system that incorporates a memory and a processing device to execute the aforementioned method. This system may include a gantry, which can be a C-arm or ring gantry, to rotate the radiation source around the target subject, or a robotic arm that positions the radiation source along a defined trajectory. The system is designed to utilize a kilovolt (kV) treatment beam and may employ a binary multi-leaf collimator (MLC) for precise radiation delivery. Furthermore, the patent specifies a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for executing the method, ensuring that the processing device can effectively apply the target-subject-specific models for optimized treatment planning and delivery.
