Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a multi-field dose for radiation therapy are provided. 1) one or more medical images of a patient and 2) a fluence map for each of a plurality of fields for radiation therapy of the patient are received. Fluence-related information is determined for each of the plurality of fields based on the fluence maps. The fluence-related information for the plurality of fields are aggregated. A multi-field dose for the patient is determined based on the one or more medical images and the aggregated fluence-related information using a machine learning based dose prediction network. The multi-field dose is output.
