Patent Issued for Methods and systems for automatic radiotherapy treatment planning (USPTO 12083359).

A patent has been issued to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for methods and systems for automatic radiotherapy treatment planning. The patent describes a method for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning that involves accessing patient-specific data and determining radiation beam profiles based on constraints. It also describes a method for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment planning that involves determining beam apertures and radiation intensities. The goal of the patent is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of radiotherapy treatment planning, which is a complex and patient-specific process. For more detailed information, refer to the full patent. [Extracted from the article]
