Abstract
A computer-implemented method and a system are for providing a dose reference value for a patient. In an embodiment, the method includes: determining a body parameter value for each of at least one body parameter of a patient; determining an adjustment factor based at least on the at least one determined body parameter value of the patient; determining a base dose reference value; and providing the dose reference value for the patient based on the base dose reference value adjusted using the determined adjustment factor.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method for providing a dose reference value representing a dose to be received by a patient, comprising:
- determining a body parameter value for at least one body parameter of a patient;
- determining an adjustment factor representing an amount by which to adjust a final deliverable dose to be received by a patient based at least on the body parameter value determined, for the at least one body parameter of the patient;
- determining a base dose reference value;
- and
- providing an adjusted dose reference value for the patient based on the base dose reference value adjusted using the adjustment factor determined.
A system for providing a dose reference value representing a dose to be received by a patient, comprising:
- a body parameter determining module, configured to determine a body parameter value for at least one body parameter of a patient;
- an adjustment factor determining module, configured to determine an adjustment factor representing an amount by which to adjust a final deliverable dose to be received by a patient, based at least on the body parameter value for at least one body parameter of the patient determined;
- a base dose reference value determining module, configured to determine a base dose reference value;
- and
- an output module, configured to provide an adjusted dose reference value for the patient based on the base dose reference value adjusted using the adjustment factor determined.
A system for providing a dose reference value representing a dose to be received by a patient, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the computer-readable instructions such that the one or more processors are configured
- to determine a body parameter value for at least one body parameter of a patient;
- to determine an adjustment factor representing an amount by which to adjust a final deliverable dose to be received by a patient, based at least on the body parameter value for at least one body parameter of the patient determined;
- to determine a base dose reference value;
- and
- to provide an adjusted dose reference value for the patient based on the base dose reference value adjusted using the adjustment factor determined.
