Utilisation of Pareto navigation techniques to calibrate a fully automated radiotherapy treatment planning solution.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Current automated radiotherapy planning solutions do not allow for the intuitive exploration of different treatment options during protocol calibration. This work introduces an automated planning solution, which aims to address this problem through incorporating Pareto navigation techniques into the calibration process.

Materials and methods

For each tumour site a set of planning goals is defined. Utilising Pareto navigation techniques an operator calibrates the solution through intuitively exploring different treatment options: selecting the optimum balancing of competing planning goals for the given site. Once calibrated, fully automated plan generation is possible, with specific algorithms implemented to ensure trade-off balancing of new patients is
