Dose-volume histogram prediction using density estimation.
Knowledge of what dose-volume histograms can be expected for a previously unseen patient could increase consistency and quality in radiotherapy treatment planning. We propose a machine learning method that uses previous treatment plans to predict such dose-volume histograms. The key to the approach is the framing of dose-volume histograms in a probabilistic setting.The training consists of esti...
متن کاملMDL Histogram Density Estimation
We regard histogram density estimation as a model selection problem. Our approach is based on the information-theoretic minimum description length (MDL) principle, which can be applied for tasks such as data clustering, density estimation, image denoising and model selection in general. MDLbased model selection is formalized via the normalized maximum likelihood (NML) distribution, which has se...
متن کاملBrachytherapy dose-volume histogram computations using optimized stratified sampling methods.
A stratified sampling method for the efficient repeated computation of dose-volume histograms (DVHs) in brachytherapy is presented as used for anatomy based brachytherapy optimization methods. The aim of the method is to reduce the number of sampling points required for the calculation of DVHs for the body and the PTV. From the DVHs are derived the quantities such as Conformity Index COIN and C...
متن کاملNml-optimal Histogram Density Estimation
Density estimation is one of the central problems in statistical inference and machine learning. Given a sample of observations, the goal of histogram density estimation is to find a piecewise constant density that describes the data best according to some pre-determined criterion. Although histograms are conceptually simple densities, they are very flexible and can model complex properties lik...
متن کاملInformation-Theoretically Optimal Histogram Density Estimation
We regard histogram density estimation as a model selection problem. Our approach is based on the information-theoretic minimum description length (MDL) principle. MDLbased model selection is formalized via the normalized maximum likelihood (NML) distribution, which has several desirable optimality properties. We show how this approach can be applied for learning generic, irregular (variable-wi...
