Method and system for automated evaluation of multiple portal dose images in radiation therapy
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating a portal dose image, comprising:
- obtaining a file of a template from a database, the template having one or more configurable field relating to dose image feature(s) to allow selectively prescribing of one or more evaluation parameters and one or more evaluation criteria, wherein the act of obtaining the template is performed by a processor;
receiving a first portal dose image of a patient, wherein the first portal dose image is generated by a portal imager in response to radiation in accordance with a treatment plan, the treatment plan being different from the template; and
after the first portal dose image is received, using the one or more evaluation parameters and the one or more evaluation criteria from the template by the processor to evaluate the first portal dose image.

Abstract
A method of evaluating a portal dose image includes obtaining a template from a database, the template prescribing one or more evaluation criteria, receiving a first portal dose image, and using a processor to evaluate the first portal dose image based at least in part on the one or more evaluation criteria from the template. In some embodiments, a second image is automatically evaluated after the first image is evaluated. A system for evaluating a portal dose image includes a processor that is communicatively coupled to a database, the database having a template that prescribes one or more evaluation criteria, wherein the processor is configured to obtain the template from the database, receive a first portal dose image, and evaluate the first portal dose image based at least in part on the one or more evaluation criteria from the template.

27. A system for evaluating a portal dose image, comprising:
-
a processor that is communicatively coupled to a database, the database having a file of a template that includes one or more configurable fields relating to dose image feature(s) to allow selectively prescribing of one or more evaluation parameters and one or more evaluation criteria; wherein the processor is configured to (1) obtain the template from the database, (2) receive a first portal dose image of a patient, and (3) after the first portal dose image is received, use the one or more evaluation parameters and the one or more evaluation criteria from the template to evaluate the first portal dose image, wherein the first portal dose image is generated by a portal imager in response to radiation in accordance with a treatment plan, the treatment plan being different from the template. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)

52. A computer product having a non-transitory medium that stores a set of instruction, an execution of which by a processor causes a process for evaluating a portal dose image to be performed, the process comprising:
-
obtaining a file of a template from a database, the template having one or more configurable fields relating to dose image feature(s) to allow selectively prescribing of one or more evaluation parameters and one or more evaluation criteria; receiving a first portal dose image of a patient, wherein the first portal dose image is generated by a portal imager in response to radiation in accordance with a treatment plan, the treatment plan being different from the template; and after the first portal dose image is received, using the one or more evaluation parameters and the one or more evaluation criteria from the template by the processor to evaluate the first portal dose image. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
