Abstract
BACKGROUND: In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques, it has become possible to predict the three-dimensional distribution dose (3D ) of a new patient based on the treatment plans of similar recent patients. Therefore, some new questions have arisen for the above issue: how to make use of the predicted 3D obtained from deep learning, to facilitate treatment planning? How to convert the predicted 3D to a clinical deliverable Pareto optimal plan? Little research has been done and limited software has been developed in this regard.
