- 构建3D网络,从剂量图直接预测180个控制点的射野强度图
- 在2000+计划数据上训练,推理速度小于20毫秒,PSNR提升8dB
- 适合需要快速放疗计划的临床场景,尤其关注效率与精度平衡
调强弧形放疗(VMAT)通过精准照射肿瘤同时保护健康组织,革新癌症治疗。其中射野强度图生成是关键步骤,传统方法依赖复杂迭代过程,耗时长。本文提出基于深度学习的3D网络,直接从患者数据预测180个控制点的射野强度图。模型以Eclipse生成的放疗计划和REQUITE数据集为基础,采用L1与L2联合损失函数进行监督训练。为提升性能,对输入剂量图进行预处理:将3D剂量图投影至180个控制点的射野视角(BEV),与强度图同坐标系对齐。通过Eclipse生成超2000例VMAT计划扩充数据集。在验证集上,使用图像指标(PSNR、SSIM)和剂量体积直方图(DVH)评估性能。网络推理时间(不含数据加载)低于20毫秒;相比仅用原始REQUITE数据集训练的U-Net,PSNR提升约8 dB,且生成的DVH与目标剂量高度一致。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) revolutionizes cancer treatment by precisely delivering radiation while sparing healthy tissues. Fluence maps generation, crucial in VMAT planning, traditionally involves complex and iterative, and thus time consuming processes. These fluence maps are subsequently leveraged for leaf-sequence. The deep-learning approach presented in this article aims to expedite this by directly predicting fluence maps from patient data. We developed a 3D network which we trained in a supervised way using a combination of L1 and L2 losses, and RT plans generated by Eclipse and from the REQUITE dataset, taking the RT dose map as input and the fluence maps computed from the corresponding RT plans as target. Our network predicts jointly the 180 fluence maps corresponding to the 180 control points (CP) of single arc VMAT plans. In order to help the network, we pre-process the input dose by computing the projections of the 3D dose map to the beam's eye view (BEV) of the 180 CPs, in the same coordinate system as the fluence maps. We generated over 2000 VMAT plans using Eclipse to scale up the dataset size. Additionally, we evaluated various network architectures and analyzed the impact of increasing the dataset size. We are measuring the performance in the 2D fluence maps domain using image metrics (PSNR, SSIM), as well as in the 3D dose domain using the dose-volume histogram (DVH) on a validation dataset. The network inference, which does not include the data loading and processing, is less than 20ms. Using our proposed 3D network architecture as well as increasing the dataset size using Eclipse improved the fluence map reconstruction performance by approximately 8 dB in PSNR compared to a U-Net architecture trained on the original REQUITE dataset. The resulting DVHs are very close to the one of the input target dose.
