Title: Michael Kantor: Innovator in Therapy Planning Systems
Introduction
Michael Kantor is a notable inventor based in Houston, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of therapy planning systems, holding 2 patents that focus on optimizing treatment plans for patients.
Latest Patents
His latest patents include "Automatic plan optimization for changing patient anatomy in the presence of mapped delivered dose from delivered fractions." This invention involves a therapy planning system and method that generates an optimal treatment plan by accounting for changes in patient anatomy. The system utilizes a first auto-planned optimal treatment plan based on an initial image of the subject. After a specified period, a second image is registered with the first to create a deformation map that reflects physiological changes. The second image is then segmented into regions of interest, and a mapped delivered dose is computed for each region using the deformation map. The first treatment plan is merged with the segmented regions and the mapped delivered dose during the optimization process.
Another significant patent is "Automatic optimal IMRT/VMAT treatment plan generation." This invention outlines a therapy planning system and method that formulates a plurality of objectives based on various clinical goals, including dose profiles and priorities. The treatment plan parameters are optimized based on these objectives to generate an effective treatment plan. The process includes reformulating objectives and reoptimizing treatment plan parameters to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
