Personalized prognosis modeling in medical treatment planning
First Claim
1. A system for automated treatment planning with individual specific consideration, the system comprising:
- an input operable to receive values for a plurality of patient specific characteristics of a patient;
a processor operable to apply the values to a first prognosis model, the first prognosis model relating a plurality of variables corresponding to the values to a first probability at a given dose, the processor operable to provide a first input to an inverse treatment planning system, the first input being a function of the first probability; and
a display operable to output radiation treatment parameters provided by the inverse treatment planning system as a function of the first probability,wherein the first prognosis model relates the variables to the first probability as a function of medical knowledge from literature.

Abstract
Automated treatment planning is provided with individual specific consideration. One or more prognosis models indicate survivability as a function of patient specific information for a given dose. By determining survivability for a plurality of doses, the biological model represented by survivability as a function of dose is determined from the specific patient. Similarly, the chances of complications or side effects are determined. The chance of survivability and chance of complication are used as or instead of the tumor control probability and normal tissue complications probability, respectively. The desired tumor dosage and tolerance dosage are selected as a function of the patient specific dose distributions. The selected dosages are input to an inverse treatment planning system for establishing radiation treatment parameters.
