Abstract
The invention relates to a planning apparatus for planning a radiation therapy. A medical image, in which a target to be irradiated is indicated, is reformatted based on ray geometries to be used during the radiation therapy to be planned, resulting in several reformatted medical images. Radiation therapy parameters being indicative of intensities of raysto be used for irradiating a targetare determined based on the reformatted medical images by using a neural network unit. This allows to determine high quality radiation therapy parameters and hence allows for an improved planning of a radiation therapy. In particular, radiation and absorptions physics can be captured better, which can lead to the improved quality.
