基于预测剂量引导和高斯过程优化的计划实现方法及装置Plan realization method and device based on predicted dose guidance and Gaussian process optimization 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及放射治疗技术领域,具体涉及一种基于预测剂量引导和高斯过程优化的计划实现方法及装置。The invention relates to the technical field of radiotherapy, in particular to a plan realization method and device based on predicted dose guidance and Gaussian process optimization.
背景技术Background technique
目前,调强放疗技术已经广泛应用于临床,但作为其核心的治疗计划设计方式仍存在着许多问题,当前所采用的手工试错方式,严重限制了医院的工作效率和计划的完成成本,增加了医院和病人的负担。更重要的是,以这样一种计划制定方式所得的治疗计划,其计划质量存在着很大的不确定性,很大程度上依赖于计划设计者的经验以及设计治疗计划所花费的时间。同时根据不同治疗中心的研究报告可以发现,无论是治疗中心内部还是治疗中心之间,所做的计划质量和计划设计时间都有很大的差别,这种差别也给计划质量的评价比较、不同中心的合作、经验交流、数据共享等造成了困难。因此,自动计划的引进和发展有着迫切的现实意义,也可能将是放射治疗史上的又一次变革。At present, intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology has been widely used in clinical practice, but as its core treatment plan design method, there are still many problems. The current manual trial-and-error method has severely limited the hospital’s work efficiency and planned completion cost, increasing The burden of hospitals and patients. More importantly, there is great uncertainty in the quality of the treatment plan obtained by such a plan-making method, which largely depends on the experience of the plan designer and the time spent designing the treatment plan. At the same time, according to the research reports of different treatment centers, it can be found that there are big differences in the quality of the plan and the time of the plan design, whether within the treatment center or between the treatment centers. This difference also makes the evaluation of the plan quality different. The cooperation, experience exchange and data sharing of the center have caused difficulties. Therefore, the introduction and development of automatic plans have urgent practical significance and may also be another revolution in the history of radiotherapy.
目前实现自动计划的方式主要有如下三种:There are currently three main ways to realize automatic planning:
1)、基于先验知识的自动计划(Knowledge-based planning,KBP),使用先验知识和经验去预测新病人的最优剂量分布或用于后期人工计划的初值,主要有基于图谱库和基于模型两种实现方式。这种实现方法的主要缺点是仅预测感兴趣区域的剂量分布,对于未勾画的组织和器官不能很好的计算出最优剂量分布,且新病人的计划质量严重受限于以往病例的计划质量。1) Automatic planning based on prior knowledge (Knowledge-based planning, KBP), using prior knowledge and experience to predict the optimal dose distribution of new patients or the initial value for later manual planning, mainly based on atlas and Two implementation methods based on model. The main disadvantage of this implementation method is that it only predicts the dose distribution in the region of interest, and the optimal dose distribution cannot be calculated well for undrawn tissues and organs, and the planning quality of new patients is severely limited by the planning quality of previous cases .
2)、基于协议的自动迭代优化(Protocal-based Automatic Iterative  Optimisaztion,PB-AIO),对靶区和危及器官设置约束,使用初始模板开始优化,并在迭代过程中不断调整约束和权重,达到靶区和危及器官剂量的最优分布。这种方法受限于物理师对模板的初始设置。2) Protocol-based Automatic Iterative Optimisaztion (PB-AIO), which sets constraints on the target area and organs at risk, uses the initial template to start optimization, and continuously adjusts constraints and weights in the iterative process to reach the target Optimal distribution of doses to areas and organs at risk. This method is limited by the initial setting of the template by the physicist.
3)、多目标优化(Multi-Criteria Optimisation,MCO),旨在寻找多个器官约束间的平衡,直到任一器官的优化将破坏其他约束为止,有先验和后验两种实现方式。该方法的主要缺点是产生的最优计划为基于强度图的计划,并没有考虑机器参数的可实现,在生成最终的子野走位时会有计划质量的损失。3) Multi-Criteria Optimisation (MCO) aims to find a balance between the constraints of multiple organs until the optimization of any organ destroys other constraints. There are two ways to achieve it: a priori and a posteriori. The main disadvantage of this method is that the optimal plan generated is a plan based on the intensity map, and the realization of machine parameters is not considered, and there will be a loss of plan quality when generating the final position of the subfield.

调强放疗技术已经广泛应用于临床,但作为其核心的治疗计划设计方式仍存在着许多问题,当前所采用的迭代式手工试错方式,耗时费力,严重限制了医院的工作效率和计划的完成成本,增加了医院和病人的负担。更重要的是,以这样一种计划制定方式所得的治疗计划,其计划质量存在着很大的不确定性,很大程度上依赖于计划设计者的经验以及设计治疗计划所花费的时间。IMRT technology has been widely used in clinical practice, but as its core treatment plan design method, there are still many problems. The current iterative manual trial and error method is time-consuming and laborious, which severely limits the hospital’s work efficiency and planning Completion costs increase the burden on hospitals and patients.

本发明通过采用剂量预测模型来预测新病例的剂量分布,可用于优化引导,一定程度上保证了计划的质量,然后利用高斯过程,基于先验数据和观察值计算出后验分布,预测最佳参数计算点,减少试错 次数,从而加快了优化速度。The present invention uses a dose prediction model to predict the dose distribution of a new case, which can be used for optimizing guidance, ensuring the quality of the plan to a certain extent, and then using the Gaussian process to calculate the posterior distribution based on the prior data and observation values, and predict the best Parameter calculation points reduce the number of trial and error, thus speeding up optimization.
下面将参照图1详细描述本发明所提出的计划实现方法。The plan implementation method proposed by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 1.
首先基于先验数据库,通过剂量预测模型预测当前病例的最优剂量分布。具体地,可以利用先验数据库训练模型,然后,基于待治疗病例的电子计算机断层扫描(CT)和勾画数据,采用训练好的剂量预测模型计算获得病例的预测剂量。Firstly, based on the prior database, the optimal dose distribution of the current case is predicted by the dose prediction model. Specifically, a priori database can be used to train the model, and then, based on the CT scan and delineation data of the case to be treated, the trained dose prediction model is used to calculate the predicted dose of the case.
训练剂量预测模型的具体步骤如下:建立深度学习卷积神经网络模型,例如,本发明实施例可以采用U-net 2D网络来建立深度学习卷积神经网络模型(应当理解,也可以采用本领域已知的其他网络来建立深度学习卷积神经网络模型),模型结构如图2所示;提取先验数据库中任一病种的{CT勾画,剂量}数据,勾画主要包含皮肤和关键器官的勾画。针对一张CT,选择256*256个采样点,1)提取采样点上的CT值,保存为CT矩阵;2)提取采样点上的器官勾画数据,针对任一器官,若某一点属于该器官,值为1,否则为0;3)将皮肤勾画的矩阵与CT值矩阵对应位置的数值相乘,作为皮肤的勾画矩阵;4)提取采样点的剂量,保存为剂量矩阵。将器官勾画矩阵作为模型输入,剂量矩阵作为模型输出,训练网络模型,参见图3。其中,用皮肤勾画来减小数据范围,皮肤的勾画和CT矩阵结合,既保留了有效数据范围,又考虑到了不同部位的CT值。The specific steps of training the dose prediction model are as follows: establish a deep learning convolutional neural network model. For example, the embodiment of the present invention can use a U-net 2D network to establish a deep learning convolutional neural network model (it should be understood that it can also be used in the field. Know other networks to build a deep learning convolutional neural network model), the model structure is shown in Figure 2; extract the {CT outline, dose} data of any disease in the prior database, and outline the outline mainly including the skin and key organs . For a CT, select 256*256 sampling points, 1) extract the CT value on the sampling point and save it as a CT matrix; 2) extract the organ delineation data on the sampling point, for any organ, if a certain point belongs to the organ , The value is 1, otherwise it is 0; 3) Multiply the matrix of the skin delineation with the value of the corresponding position of the CT value matrix to form the matrix of the skin delineation; 4) Extract the dose of the sampling point and save it as a dose matrix. The organ delineation matrix is used as the model input, and the dose matrix is used as the model output to train the network model, as shown in Figure 3. Among them, skin delineation is used to reduce the data range, and the combination of skin delineation and CT matrix not only preserves the effective data range, but also takes into account the CT values of different parts.
模型训练完成后,可以获取新病例的CT勾画数据,并作为模型的输入,经过训练好的网络,可以预测剂量并输出,参见图4。After the model training is completed, the CT outline data of the new case can be obtained and used as the input of the model. After the trained network, the dose can be predicted and output, as shown in Figure 4.
本发明实施例中通过收集大量历史病例形成先验数据库,采用卷积神经网络结构,预测新病例的最优剂量分布,可用于优化引导,一定程度上保证了计划的质量。In the embodiment of the present invention, a priori database is formed by collecting a large number of historical cases, and a convolutional neural network structure is adopted to predict the optimal dose distribution of a new case, which can be used for optimizing guidance and ensuring the quality of the plan to a certain extent.
然后,可以根据预测剂量,计算该预测剂量的计划得分作为最佳 计划得分Score_best,计划评分规则如表1所示,打分的计算方式如下:依据表1中的打分标准计算各危及器官的各剂量体积直方图(DVH)指标的得分,然后求和,得到当前所有危及器官DVH的总得分score。Then, according to the predicted dose, the plan score of the predicted dose can be calculated as the best plan score Score_best. The plan scoring rules are shown in Table 1, and the scoring method is as follows: Calculate the doses of each organ at risk according to the scoring standard in Table 1. The scores of the volume histogram (DVH) indicators are then summed to obtain the total score of DVH of all organs at risk.

以前列腺癌计划中直肠(Rectum)的DVH指标V75为例,计算打分的方法如下:1)若V75<10%,得分为5;2)若V75>15%,得分为0;3)若V75在区间[10%,15%]上,使用线性插值的方法获取其得分。Taking the Rectum DVH index V75 in the prostate cancer plan as an example, the method of calculating the score is as follows: 1) If V75<10%, the score is 5; 2) If V75>15%, the score is 0; 3) If V75 In the interval [10%, 15%], use linear interpolation to obtain the score.
根据新病例器官的解剖信息,关联到先验数据库中解剖信息最相近的数个病例,预测确定新病例的初始优化参数集(包括多组计划参数),参见图5,实现方法如下:根据勾画信息,提取器官重叠体积直方图(OVH,Overlap Volume Histogram),计算方式如下:According to the anatomical information of the organ of the new case, it is associated with several cases with the closest anatomical information in the prior database, and the initial optimization parameter set (including multiple sets of planning parameters) for the new case is predicted and determined. See Figure 5. The implementation method is as follows: Information, extract the Overlap Volume Histogram (OVH) of the organ, the calculation method is as follows:
Figure PCTCN2019121146-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2019121146-appb-000003
其中,T为靶区;O为危及器官;|O|为危及器官的体积;p为O中的一个子集;d(p,T)为p到肿瘤边界的距离;{p∈O|d(p,T)≤t}表示危及器官O中到靶区T距离小于距离t的体素合集。靶区T和危及器官O的重叠体积直方图函数为危及器官O到靶区T距离小于t的体积分数。Among them, T is the target area; O is the organ at risk; |O| is the volume of the organ at risk; p is a subset of O; d(p, T) is the distance from p to the tumor boundary; {p∈O|d (p,T)≤t} represents the collection of voxels whose distance to the target area T is less than the distance t in the endangered organ O. The histogram function of the overlapping volume of the target area T and the organ at risk O is the volume fraction of the distance between the organ at risk O and the target area T less than t.
计算新病例的各器官OVH与数据库中病例OVH的相似度,本文 中采用的相似度度量公式为夹角余弦距离,也称余弦相似度,是用向量空间中两个向量夹角的余弦值作为衡量两个个体间差异的大小的度量。余弦值越接近1,就表明夹角越接近0度,也就是两个向量越相似。计算公式如下:Calculate the similarity between the OVH of each organ of the new case and the case OVH in the database. The similarity measurement formula used in this article is the angle cosine distance, also called cosine similarity, which uses the cosine value of the angle between two vectors in the vector space as A measure of the size of the difference between two individuals. The closer the cosine value is to 1, the closer the angle is to 0 degrees, that is, the more similar the two vectors are. Calculated as follows:
Figure PCTCN2019121146-appb-000004
Figure PCTCN2019121146-appb-000004
其中,a·b表示两向量的点积,|a|、|b|表示向量的长度。Among them, a·b represents the dot product of two vectors, and |a| and |b| represent the length of the vector.
然后,选取相似度最高的k组病例的优化参数,组成k个近邻病例的优化参数集。这里的优化参数包含射野角度和约束条件。Then, the optimized parameters of the k groups of cases with the highest similarity are selected to form an optimized parameter set of k neighboring cases. The optimization parameters here include the field angle and constraint conditions.
分别计算当前k组优化参数下,计划的得分,将{优化参数Para,得分Score}添加到数据集T中,设置迭代次数iter=0。Calculate the planned scores under the current k groups of optimization parameters, add {optimization parameter Para, score Score} to the data set T, and set the number of iterations iter=0.
如果数据集T中存在得分高于Score_best的优化参数,将该参数用于新病例,并计算调强优化结果;否则,继续进行下述步骤。If there is an optimization parameter with a score higher than Score_best in the data set T, use this parameter in a new case and calculate the intensity modulation optimization result; otherwise, continue with the following steps.
可以通过高斯过程计算新的预测点的优化参数,并将加入数据集T中,参见图6。实现方法如下:假设计划得分与优化参数满足多维高斯分布,已知数据集T={x=Para,y=Score},可计算任一x *=Para下y *=Score的高斯分布的概率密度函数: The optimized parameters of the new prediction point can be calculated through the Gaussian process, and will be added to the data set T, see Figure 6. The implementation method is as follows: Assuming that the plan score and the optimization parameters meet the multi-dimensional Gaussian distribution, given the data set T = {x = Para, y = Score}, the probability density of the Gaussian distribution under any x * = Para, y * = Score can be calculated function:
p(y *|x *,x,y)=N(y **,∑ *) p(y * |x * ,x,y)=N(y ** ,∑ * )
