Abstract
Example methods and systems for radiotherapy treatment planning are provided. One example method may comprise obtaining image data associated with a patient; and processing the image data to generate a treatment plan for the patient using an inferential chain that includes multiple AI engines that are trained separately to perform respective multiple treatment planning steps. A first treatment planning step may be performed using a first AI engine to generate first output data based on at least one of: (i) the image data, and (ii) first input data generated based on the image data. A second treatment planning step may be performed using a second AI engine to generate the treatment plan based on at least one of: (i) the first output data, and (ii) second input data generated based on the first output data.
