| Abstract | Objective: A neural network method was used to establish a dose prediction model for organs at risk (OARs) during intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and methods: In total, 103 patients with NPC were randomly selected for IMRT. Suborgans were automatically generated for OARs using ring structures based on distance to the target using a MATLAB program and the corresponding volume of each suborgan was determined. The correlation between the volume of each suborgan and the dose to each OAR was analysed and neural network prediction models of the OAR dose were established using the MATLAB Neural Net Fitting application. The R-value and mean square error in the regression analysis were used to evaluate the prediction model. Results: The OAR dose was related to the volume of the corresponding sub-OAR. The average R-values for the normalised mean dose (Dnmean) to parallel organs and serial organs and the normalised maximum dose (Dn0) to serial organs in the training set were 0.880, 0.927 and 0.905, respectively. The mean square error for each OAR in the prediction model was low (ranging from 1.72 × 10 Conclusion: The neural network-based model for predicting OAR dose during IMRT for NPC is simple, reliable and worth further investigation and application. |
