Abstract
In radiation therapy, treatment objectives applicable to different identified structures in a patient's body (e.g., a target structure and an organ at risk (OAR)) may conflict due to overlap between the structures. Automated systems and methods can detect and resolve such conflicts. For example, a set of modified regions that do not overlap with each other can be defined, and a modified treatment objective for each modified region can be determined based on the original treatment objectives. The modified regions and modified treatment objectives can be used in treatment planning processes.
