Abstract:
Nominal values of parameters, and perturbations of the nominal values, that are associated with previously defined radiation treatment plans are accessed. For each treatment field of the treatment plans, a field-specific planning target volume (fsPTV) is determined based on those perturbations. At least one clinical target volume (CTV) and at least one organ-at-risk (OAR) volume are also delineated. Each OAR includes at least one sub-volume that is delineated based on spatial relationships between each OAR and the CTV and the fsPTV for each treatment field. Dose distributions for the sub-volumes are determined based on the nominal values and the perturbations. One or more dose prediction models are generated for each sub-volume. The dose prediction model(s) are trained using the dose distributions.
