Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for calculating emergent beam intensity of radiotherapy. The method includes following steps: a, inputting a quadratic programming problem; b, pre-solving the quadratic programming problem; c, judging whether the quadratic programming problem is normal or not according to a pre-solving result, if yes, entering step d, and if not, entering step f; d, performing Mehrotra predictor-corrector iteration on the quadratic programming problem, preferentially using a Vanderbei strategy solving quasi-definite system, and when decomposition encounters a circumstance which is not positive definite, returning to use a symmetric indefinite decomposition solving augmentation system; e, performing post-processing; f, outputting a solution of the quadratic programming problem, wherein when the quadratic programming problem is normal, the solution of the quadratic programming problem is a value of a vector V, and when the quadratic programming problem is abnormal, the quadratic programming problem has no solution. By the method and device, the problem that solving of the quadratic programming problem in an optimization method of radiotherapy is low in speed and prone to failing can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of radiotherapy, in particular to a method and device for calculating the intensity of outgoing beams of radiotherapy. Background technique [0002] Radiation therapy is a local treatment that uses radiation to treat tumors. Radiation includes α, β, γ rays produced by radioactive isotopes and X-rays, electron beams, proton beams and other particle beams produced by various X-ray therapy machines or accelerators. [0003] Quadratic programming problem models are widely used in modern radiotherapy planning. Quadratic programming is a special class of mathematical programming problems in nonlinear programming. In various radiation therapy types, such as Volumetric Arc Radiation Therapy (VMAT) and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), quadratic programming problems can be used for flux map optimization and direct subfield optimization to calculate the required Outgoing beam intensity.
