Abstract
The shape and/or location of an organ may change in accordance with changes in the body shape and/or pose of a patient. Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities for automatically determining, using an artificial neural network (ANN), the shape and/or location of the organ based on human models that reflect the body shape and/or pose the patient. The ANN may be trained to learn the spatial relationship between the organ and the body shape or pose of the patient. Then, at an inference time, the ANN may be used to determine the relationship based on a first patient model and a first representation (e.g., a point cloud) of the organ so that given a second patient model thereafter, the ANN may automatically determine the shape and/or location of the organ corresponding to the body shape or pose of the patient indicated by the second patient model.
