RADIATION THERAPY PLANNING USING INTEGRATED MODEL

摘要

System and method for automatically generate therapy plan parameters by use of an integrate model with extended applicable regions. The integrated model integrates multiple predictive models from which a suitable predictive model can be selected automatically to perform prediction for a new patient case. The integrated model may operate to evaluate prediction results generated by each predictive model and the associated prediction reliabilities and selectively output a satisfactory prediction. Alternatively, the integrated model may select a suitable predictive model by a decision hierarchy in which each level corresponds to divisions of a patient data feature set and divisions on a subordinate level are nested with divisions on a superordinate level.

1. A computer implemented method of automatically generating a radiation treatment plan for a patient, said method comprising:
accessing patient information; accessing an integrated model that integrates a plurality of predictive models, wherein a respective predictive model of said plurality of predictive models correlates input variables of patient information features with output variables pertinent to radiation treatment planning; automatically selecting one or more predictive models based on said patient information in accordance with said integrated model; processing said patient information in accordance with said one or more predictive models; and outputting a resultant radiation treatment prediction.
