First Claim
1. A method for determining at least one new treatment plan for at least one new patient, comprising:
- providing, utilizing at least one overlap volume histogram (OVH) module, at least one representation of the at least one new patient'"'"'s at least one organ at risk relative to at least one target;
searching, utilizing at least one matching module, for at least one prior treatment plan for at least one prior patient with at least one similar representation; and
reviewing the at least one prior treatment plan for the at least one prior patient in order to determine whether the at least one treatment plan can be improved based on information in the at least one prior treatment plan.
