Abstract:
Systems and methods directed to adaptive radiotherapy planning are provided. In some aspects, provided system and method include producing synthetic images from magnetic resonance data using relaxometry maps. The method includes applying corrections to the data and generating relaxometry maps therefrom. In other aspects, a method for adapting a radiotherapy plan is provided. The method includes determining an objective function based on dose gradients from an initial dose distribution, and generating an optimized plan based on updated images, using aperture morphing and gradient maintenance algorithms without need for organ-at-risk contouring. In yet other aspects, a method for obtaining 4D MR imaging using a temporal reshuffling of data acquired during normal breathing, a method for deformable image registration using a sequentially applied semi-physical model regularization method for multimodality images, and a method to generate 4D plans using an aperture morphing algorithm based on 4D CT or 4D MR imaging are provided.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the initial radiotherapy plan and the adaptive radiation therapy plan are 4D plans generated based on the 4D MR image set or 4D CT image set, or both, using a segment aperture morphing (SAM) algorithm.
