AUTOMATION OF THERAPY PLANNING

摘要

An automated treatment planning system having a planning image memory (14) which stores a volume diagnostic image; a user interface device (32) configured for a user to input data defining a plurality of regions of interest within the volume diagnostic image; and one or more processors. The processors are configured to receive the volume diagnostic image and plurality of user-defined regions of interest indicated within the volume diagnostic image; map the plurality of regions of interest to the body atlas (35) to determine anatomical locations within the plurality of regions of interest; map each region of interest of the plurality of regions of interest to the body atlas to select correct corresponding anatomical structures; receive a treatment plan template based upon the anatomical structures from a knowledge base (36). A planning module (38) is configured to generate a treatment plan using the treatment plan template.
