The optimization algorithm for optimizing the aperture shape and the aperture weight is a deterministic optimization algorithm, a stochastic optimization algorithm, and a hybrid algorithm of the deterministic and stochastic optimization algorithms. The evaluation of the plan includes comprehensive evaluation on the target dosage coverage and the organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing.
[34] Outputting the radiotherapy plan includes: Input information such as the optimized aperture shape and aperture weight, and a radiation source to a radiotherapy device, where a shape of an opening of an MLC is controlled by the aperture shape, and radiation exposure time of the opening of the MLC is controlled by the aperture weight corresponding to the aperture shape; and output a three-dimensional dosage distribution optimized result and a dosage-volume curve optimized result to a computer to generate a report.
[35] Based on the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is described with the specific embodiment.
[36] Embodiment 1
[37] As shown in FIG 2, the method in the embodiment includes the following steps:
[38] Step 201: Set a target function.
[39] The target function used in the radiotherapy includes a physical target function, a biological target function and a physical and biological hybrid target function. The physical target function includes a physical criterion sub-target function, the biological target function includes a biological criterion sub-target function, and the physical and biological hybrid target function includes the 4
BL-5290 physical criterion sub-target function and the biological criterion sub-target function. The physical criterion sub-target function includes a maximal dosage sub-target function, a minimal dosage sub-target function, an average dosage sub-target function, a minimal dosage-volume sub-target function and a maximal dosage-volume sub-target function; and the biological criterion sub-target function includes an equivalent uniform dosage (EUD) sub-target function, a normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) sub-target function and a tumor control probability (TCP) sub-target function. Setting the target function includes: Select a type of the function and select initial parameters in the target function, where the initial parameters include a prescription dosage and a weighting factor.
[40] Step 202: Perform DAO based on a simulated annealing algorithm.
[41] During DAO, the number of apertures required in each BEV is given, and the shapes and intensities of the apertures are optimized at the same time with the simulated annealing algorithm.
The initial shape of the aperture depends on an outline of a target area on the BEV map.
[42] Step 203: Evaluate a radiotherapy plan.
[43] The quality evaluation is made on the optimized radiotherapy plan in terms of a three-dimensional dosage distribution, a dosage-volume histogram (DVH) curve, a biological criterion, etc. Through the three-dimensional dosage distribution, the dosage coverage on the target area, and high-dosage irradiation on surrounding normal tissues and OARs are observed. Whether the present plan meets the conventional clinical radiotherapy dosage-volume evaluation standards is determined by viewing the DVH curve.
[44] In each embodiment of the present disclosure, the dosage coverage with 95% of prescription dosage and 107% of prescription dosage on the clinically concerned target areas, and the dosage-volume points on the clinically concerned OARs are evaluated to determine whether the present plan is the plan meeting the clinical dosage requirements.
[45] Step 204: Determine whether the present radiotherapy plan is practicable.
[46] According to the plan evaluation result obtained in Step 203, if the present plan meets all plan evaluation standards, i.e., the clinical dosage requirements, execute Step 205 to output the plan, or otherwise, execute Step 206 to perform an adjustment by the weighting factor ANFIS.
[47] Step 205: Output the radiotherapy plan.
[48] Shapes and intensities of all apertures in each BEV are output.
[49] Step 206: Perform an adjustment by the weighting factor ANFIS.
[50] The weighting factor ANFIS outputs a change Wichange of the weighting factor parameter for each sub-target function. If the present sub-target function has a weight value of w,,, and the modified sub-target function has a weight value of w _ , there will be a following relationship therebetween:
BL-5290
LU500593
Wow = Wo | 1+ ide > W change
[51] i=1
[52] where, n represents the number of sub-target functions, and the ; represents an jth sub-target function. The weighting factor parameters of all sub-target functions are modified similarly. After the weighting factor parameter is adjusted, re-execute Steps 202 to 205 once.
[53] Step 207: Evaluate the radiotherapy plan.
[54] Step 208: Determine whether the present radiotherapy plan meets the clinical dosage requirements.
[55] Step 208 and Step 204 are functionally identical. According to the plan evaluation result obtained in Step 207, if the present plan meets all plan evaluation standards, i.e., the clinical dosage requirements, execute Step 205 to output the plan, or otherwise, execute Step 209 to perform an adjustment by the prescription dosage ANFIS.
[56] Step 209: Perform an adjustment by the prescription dosage ANFIS.
[57] The prescription dosage ANFIS outputs a change Dichanze of the prescription dosage for each sub-target function. If the present sub-target function has a prescription dosage of D,,, and the modified sub-target function has a prescription dosage of D,_ , there will be a following relationship therebetween:
De, =D, +
DD ange
[58] =!
[59] where, n represents the number of sub-target functions, and the ; represents an jth sub-target function. The prescription dosage parameters of all sub-target functions are modified similarly. After the prescription dosage parameter in the target function is adjusted, re-execute Steps 202 to 208.
[60] The ANFIS-based automatic DAO method is performed iteratively until the plan meeting the clinical dosage requirements is generated, or the optimization is ended after the maximum number of iteration times, and the shapes and intensities of all apertures in each BEV are output.
[61] All contents in the above embodiment may be applied to the automatic DAO system disclosed in the present disclosure.
[62] As shown in FIG 3, the automatic DAO of the present disclosure is an iterative process.
During iteration, except that the shape and intensity of the aperture are automatically optimized, the prescription dosage parameter and the weighting factor parameter in the target function are 6
BL-5290 automatically determined for the DAO without the reliance on the manual adjustment of The >% physicist.
[63] By training the weighting factor ANFIS and the prescription dosage ANFIS according to the historical clinical data on parameter adjustment experience, and incorporating the parameter adjustment and inference experience of the physicist into the automatic DAO process, the present disclosure can effectively determine the prescription dosage parameter and the weighting factor parameter for the target function used in the DAO, and improves the efficiency of radiotherapy. 7
