1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a processor, a computer model generating a radiation therapy treatment plan comprising a projected dose-volume distribution for a structure of a patient, the computer model receiving at least an image of the structure of the patient and a dose objective, wherein the computer model iteratively calculates the treatment plan by projecting different doses for the structure of the patient until the computer model converges onto the projected dose-volume distribution;
generating, by the processor based on the iterative calculations of the treatment plan, a data structure comprising correlation values indicating the amount of radiation individual structures of the patient are projected to receive as a result of adjusting the amount of radiation other structures of the patient are projected to receive;
receiving, by the processor from a computer device presenting the radiation treatment plan, a query indicating the structure of the patient or an attribute of the radiation therapy treatment plan;
generating, by the processor, a query term based on the received query;
retrieving, by the processor, a correlation value associated with the query term by querying the data structure; and
transmitting, by the processor, data generated based on the correlation value to the computer device, wherein the generated data corresponds to a second structure and at least one projected different dose.
