BENCHMARK SYSTEM FOR RADIATION THERAPY PLANNING
First Claim
1. An evaluation system for radiation therapy planning comprising an electronic computer executing a program stored in a non-transient medium to execute the steps of:
- (a) receive a subset of radiation planning data for a given patient selected from a set of;
anatomy volume contours and target volume prescriptions;
(b) generate a fictitious treatment dose matrix from the subset of radiation planning data with a modeling process(c) receive radiation planning information selected from the group consisting of radiation plan goals for the given patient and a clinical radiation therapy plan for the given patient;
(d) evaluate the radiation planning information against the fictitious treatment dose matrix; and
(e) output the evaluation.

Abstract
A system for evaluating radiation treatment planning generates a fictitious treatment dose matrix with a quality of dose placement beyond that achievable with physically realizable radiation therapy machines. Such a fictitious treatment dose matrix provides an objective measure that is readily tailored to different clinical situations, and although unattainable, thereby provides a benchmark allowing evaluation of radiation plan goals and the radiation plans between different multiple clinical situations and individuals.
