摘要:
One accesses information regarding the functionality of portions of the patients body and then uses that information to optimize a radiation-treatment plan to treat a target portion of the patients body while minimizing at least some collateral radiation-based damage to non-targeted functional portions of the patients body. By one approach, the aforementioned information can comprise a functionality model as pertains to at least some portions of the patients body. As one example in these regards, this can comprise optimizing the radiation-treatment plan such that the planned radiation beams tend to pass through non-targeted less-functional portions of the patients body rather than through non-targeted portions of the patients body of greater functionality.
