Apparatus and method using automatic generation of a base dose
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- forming a radiation therapy treatment plan for a patient using a control circuit by;
automatically generating a base dose that references dosing information from multiple sources, the base dose constituting an aggregated per-patient metric that represents radiation dosages received in earlier radiation treatment sessions for the patient, previous radiation dosages received by the patient on a same day as a session for which the radiation therapy treatment plan is currently being formed, and planned future sessions for the patient; and
using the base dose to optimize a radiation therapy treatment plan; and
using the radiation therapy treatment plan to administer radiation therapy to a patient.

Abstract
A control circuit forms a radiation therapy treatment plan by automatically generating a base dose that references dosing information from multiple sources (such as multiple information sources) and then using that base dose to optimize a radiation therapy treatment plan. That radiation therapy treatment plan is then used to administer radiation therapy to a patient. That automatically generated base dose can represent any or all of earlier radiation therapy treatments for the patient, a same fraction as a dose presently being optimized per the radiation therapy treatment plan, and future planned fractions for the patient.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a control circuit configured to form a radiation therapy treatment plan for a patient by; automatically generating a base dose that references dosing information from multiple sources, the base dose constituting an aggregated per-patient metric that represents radiation dosages received in earlier radiation treatment sessions for the patient, previous radiation dosages received by the patient on a same day as a session for which the radiation therapy treatment plan is currently being formed, and planned future sessions for the patient; and using the base dose to optimize a radiation therapy treatment plan; and a radiation therapy treatment platform configured to use the radiation therapy treatment plan to administer the radiation therapy to a patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
