Systems and techniques may be used to estimate a real-time patient state during a radiotherapy treatment using a magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac). For example, a method may include generating a dictionary of expanded potential patient measurements and corresponding potential patient states using a preliminary motion model. The method may include training, using a machine learning technique, a correspondence motion model relating an input patient measurement to an output patient state using the dictionary. The method may include estimating, using a processor, the patient state corresponding to a 2D MR image using the correspondence motion model. The method may include directing radiation therapy, using the MR-Linac, to a target according to the patient state.

A computer-implemented method of performing a radiation therapy process includes: while a patient is disposed in a first position and maintains a first inspiration level, acquiring a set of projection images of a target volume associated with the patient; based on a treatment planning digital volume associated with the radiation therapy process and the set of projection images, generating a synthetic digital volume that includes the target volume; based on a treatment plan associated with the treatment planning digital volume and on the synthetic digital volume, generating a modified treatment fraction; and while the patient remains in the first position and maintains at least the first inspiration level, performing the modified treatment fraction.

Systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring anatomic position of a human subject and modifying a radiotherapy treatment based on anatomic position changes, as determined with a regression model trained to estimate movement of a region of interest. Example operations for movement monitoring and therapy control include: obtaining 3D image data for a subject, which provides a reference volume and at least one defined region of interest; obtaining real-time 2D image data corresponding to the subject, captured during the radiotherapy treatment session; extracting features from the 2D image data; producing a relative motion estimation of a region of interest with a machine learning regression model, the model trained to estimate a spatial transformation from the 2D image data based on training from the reference volume; and controlling a radiotherapy beam of a radiotherapy machine used in the radiotherapy session, based on the relative motion estimation.

Systems and methods may be used for estimating instantaneous patient motion (a patient state). The patient state may be estimated based on a 3D reference volume and a stream of images, for example from an image acquisition device. The stream of images may be received in real-time, for example during a radiation therapy treatment. An example method may include encoding the 3D reference volume using a 3D encoder branch of a patient state generator network, encoding the stream of images using a 2D encoder branch of the patient state generator network, and combining the encoded 3D reference volume and the encoded real-time stream of images. The method may include estimating a 3D spatial transform that maps the 3D reference volume to a current patient state by decoding the combined encoding using a 3D decoder branch of the patient state generator network.
