Summary

This study introduces an interactive platform for real-time radiation therapy planning. It allows clinicians to efficiently explore dose distributions and optimize treatment trade-offs for personalized patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Current radiation therapy planning is time-consuming.
  • Optimizing dose distributions involves complex trade-offs between target coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) sparing.
  • Real-time feedback is crucial for efficient treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an interactive treatment planning platform for real-time dose distribution manipulation.
  • To separate the evaluation of dose options from the derivation of delivery parameters.
  • To enable rapid, customized 3D dose distribution development.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel, computationally efficient Achievable Dose Estimate (ADE) algorithm.
  • Implementation of a software environment for interactive, real-time dose manipulation.

  • Utilizing graphical navigation and fluence element modification for dose recalculation (~2-20 ms).

    • Main Results:

    • Interactive planning completed in ~1-5 minutes.
    • Real-time dose updates at >20 Hz, enabling visual interaction (e.g., 'dragging' DVHs).
    • Final DVHs achieved within 2% (high dose) and 4% (low dose) of conventional VMAT planning.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed platform facilitates efficient evaluation of dosimetric trade-offs between targets and OARs.
    • Real-time interactive planning enhances understanding of patient-specific dosimetric options.
    • This approach supports both static and adaptive radiation therapy (RT).
