Automating Oncology Therapy Plans by means of Temporal Hierarchical Task Networks Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is focused on the representation of oncology treatment protocols by a temporally extended, Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) based knowledge representation as well as their interpretation by a temporal HTN planning process. The planning process allows to obtain temporally annotated therapy plans that support decisions of oncologists in the area of paediatrics oncology.

An Approach for Representing and Managing Medical Exceptions in Care Pathways Based on Temporal Hierarchical Planning Techniques
This work presents an approach for representing and managing medical exceptions that may occur during the execution of a patientcentered care pathway. Personalized care pathways are generated automatically by means of a knowledge-driven planning process over a temporal hierarchical task network (HTN), which encodes an evidence-based clinical guideline. The exceptional situations specified in th...
متن کاملExploiting the Structure of Hierarchical Plans in Temporal Constraint Propagation
Quantitative temporal constraints are an essential requirement for many planning domains. The HTN planning paradigm has proven to be better suited than other approaches to many applications. To date, however, efficiently integrating temporal reasoning with HTN planning has been little explored. This paper describes a means to exploit the structure of a HTN plan in performing temporal propagatio...
متن کاملLearning Probabilistic Hierarchical Task Networks to Capture User Preferences
While much work on learning in planning focused on learning domain physics (i.e., action models), and search control knowledge, little attention has been paid towards learning user preferences on desirable plans. Hierarchical task networks (HTN) are known to provide an effective way to encode user prescriptions about what constitute good plans. However, manual construction of these methods is c...
متن کاملRadiobiological Model-Based Comparison of Three-Dimensional Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Plans for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Introduction: Radiobiological modeling of radiotherapy plans are used for treatment plan comparisons. The current study aimed to compare the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for nasopharyngeal cancer using radiobiological modeling. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 10 patients with nasopharyngeal carci...

Introduction: We aimed to dosimetrically compare three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in terms of planning target volume (PTV) coverage, organ at risk (OAR) sparing, and conformity index (CI). Material and Methods: Planning data of 26 high grade glioma (HGG) patients were used. Prescrib...
