Abstract

Provided is a control device for a radiation irradiation device including a position-related information acquisition portion that acquires position-related information related to a position of a particular site; a model generation portion that generates a model outputting the position of the particular site based on the position-related information; and a particular site position calculation portion that outputs the position of the particular site based on the position-related information acquired by the position-related information acquisition portion, by using the model generated by the model generation portion. The model generated by the model generation portion is provided with a filter regulating an amount of change in the position of the particular site output by the model.

Claims (23)

1. A control device for a radiation irradiation device, the control device comprising:

a position-related information acquisition portion that acquires position-related information related to a position of a particular site, wherein the position-related information acquisition portion is constructed at least in part of at least one hardware processor and at least one memory;

a model generation portion that generates a model to determine the position of the particular site based on the position-related information, wherein the model generation portion is constructed at least in part of the at least one hardware processor and the at least one memory; and

a particular site position calculation portion that outputs the position of the particular site based on the position-related information acquired by the position-related information acquisition portion, by using the model generated by the model generation portion, wherein the particular site position calculation portion is constructed at least in part of the at least one hardware processor and the at least one memory,

wherein the model generated by the model generation portion is provided with a filter to regulate an amount of change in the position which represents a real-time position of the particular site, output by the model, and

the model generation portion sets parameters of a model template provided with the filter so as to minimize an error between an output after passing through the filter and a teacher signal indicating a correct decision of the position of the particular site, to generate the model provided with the filter.

2. The control device for a radiation irradiation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the model generation portion generates a plurality of models in each of which the filter is provided at a position different from that in each of the others, and selects any one of the models, and

wherein the particular site calculation portion outputs the position of the particular site based on the position-related information acquired by the position-related information acquisition portion, by using the model selected by the model generation portion.

3. The control device for a radiation irradiation device according to claim 1 , wherein the filter is a low pass filter.

4. A control method for controlling a radiation treatment apparatus by a control device, the control method comprising:

a position-related information acquisition operation acquiring position-related information related to a position of a particular site;

a model generation operation generating a model outputting the position of the particular site based on the position-related information; and

a particular site position calculation operation outputting the position of the particular site based on the position-related information acquired in the position-related information acquisition operation, by using the model generated in the model generation operation,

wherein the model generated in the model generation operation is provided with a filter regulating an amount of change in the position which represents a real-time position of the particular site, output by the model; and

in the model generation operation, parameters of a model template provided with the filter are set so as to minimize an error between an output after passing through the filter and a teacher signal indicating a correct decision of the position of the particular site, to generate the model provided with the filter.

5. The control method for a radiation irradiation device according to claim 4 , wherein the filter is a low pass filter.

6. A program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, where the program causes a computer including a control device for a radiation treatment apparatus to execute:

a position-related information acquisition operation acquiring position-related information related to a position of a particular site;

a model generation operation generating a model outputting the position of the particular site based on the position-related information; and

a particular site position calculation operation outputting the position of the particular site based on the position-related information acquired in the position-related information acquisition operation, by using the model generated in the model generation operation,

wherein, in the model generation operation, parameters of a model template provided with a filter are set so as to minimize an error between an output after passing through the filter and a teacher signal indicating a correct decision of the position of the particular site, the filter regulating an amount of change in the position which represents a real-time position of the particular site, output by the model.

7. The program according to claim 6 , wherein the filter is a low pass filter.
