Problems solved by technology

[0008] It is well known in the art that during the implementation of clinical radiotherapy planning, the conditions of patients are changeable, diverse and complex.
The methods proposed in the above literatures cannot cover all online radiotherapy adjustment methods
And various online adjustment methods have their own characteristics. For example, the method of moving the bed is simple to implement and takes a short time; online plan re-optimization may obtain a better plan, but it takes more time
Clinically, doctors are often unable to quickly judge which online adjustment method is needed for the current case

Abstract

The present invention relates to an online radiotherapy plan quality control system and method. The control system comprises a data input and output module, an adaptive plan module and an online sketching modification tool, and further comprises a plan evaluation index limit template setting module, a plan evaluation index reference value template setting module, a radiotherapy plan evaluation index limit setting module, and a radiotherapy plan evaluation index reference value setting module. The control system can automatically calculate results of various online adjustment methods at the same time, evaluates the structure of each adjustment method, recommends the online adjustment methods according to the evaluation results, basically realizes automation in the whole process, only needsdoctors to conduct confirmation and modification of sketching, reduces workload of the doctors, thus reduces time and improves efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical radiotherapy quality control, in particular to an online radiotherapy plan quality control system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Radiotherapy is an important technical means to treat tumors. Usually a course of radiotherapy lasts for several weeks, during which the tumor often shifts and deforms, which affects the quality of radiotherapy. In order to control the influence of tumor displacement and deformation, tumor displacement and deformation information is obtained clinically by online acquisition of images, and then corresponding online adjustment methods are adopted. [0003] At present, the ways to obtain images online during radiotherapy mainly include cone-beam CT images (integrating cone-beam CT and radiotherapy accelerators), fan-beam CT images (integrating fan-beam CT machines and radiotherapy accelerators), and magnetic resonance images (integrating magnetic Resona...
