Abstract
A treatment planning prediction method to predict a Dose-Volume Histogram (DVH) or Dose Distribution (DD) for patient data using a machine-learning computer framework is provided with the key inclusion of a Planning Target Volume (PTV) only treatment plan in the framework. A dosimetric parameter is used as an additional parameter to the framework and which is obtained from a prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method outputs a Dose-Volume Histogram and/or a Dose Distribution for the patient including the prediction of the PTV-only treatment plan. The method alleviates the complicated process of quantifying anatomical features and harnesses directly the inherent correlation between the PTV-only plan and the clinical plan in the dose domain. The method provides a more robust and efficient solution to the important DVHs prediction problem in treatment planning and plan quality assurance.
