Background and purposeThere are two significant challenges when implementing functional-guided radiotherapy using 4DCT-ventilation imaging: (1) lack of knowledge of realistic patient specific dosimetric goals for functional lung and (2) ensuring consistent plan quality across multiple planners. Knowledge-based planning (KBP) is positioned to address both concerns.Material and methodsA KBP model was created from 30 previously planned functional-guided lung patients. Standard organs at risk (OAR) in lung radiotherapy and a ventilation contour delineating areas of high ventilation were included. Model validation compared dose-metrics to standard OARs and functional dose-metrics from 20 independent cases that were planned with and without KBP.ResultsA significant improvement was observed for KBP optimized plans in V20Gy and mean dose to functional lung (p = 0.005 and 0.001, respectively), V20Gy and mean dose to total lung minus GTV (p = 0.002 and 0.01, respectively), and mean doses to esophagus (p = 0.005).ConclusionThe current work developed a KBP model for functional-guided radiotherapy. Modest, but statistically significant, improvements were observed in functional lung and total lung doses.
