Abstract
A control circuit accesses information regarding a plurality of pre-existing vetted radiation treatment plans for a variety of patients and uses that information to train at least one model (such as a dose volume histogram estimation model). The control circuit then uses that model to develop estimates for a radiation treatment plan for a particular patient. The control circuit can then use those estimates to develop a candidate radiation treatment plan.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having stored therein information regarding a plurality of pre-existing vetted radiation treatment plans for a variety of patients;
- a control circuit operably coupled to the memory and configured to:
- use the information to train at least one model, wherein the model contains information about geometric limits of a training set used for model training;
- use the geometric limits to assess how well a particular patient fits the information used to train the model;
- use the model to develop estimates for a radiation treatment plan for the particular patient.
