A moment-based approach for DVH-guided radiotherapy treatment plan optimization.
The dose-volume histogram (DVH) is a clinically relevant criterion to evaluate the quality of a treatment plan. It is hence desirable to incorporate DVH constraints into treatment plan optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy. Yet, the direct inclusion of the DVH constraints into a treatment plan optimization model typically leads to great computational difficulties due to the non...
متن کاملOptimization of Beam Orientation and Weight in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning using a Genetic Algorithm
Introduction: The selection of suitable beam angles and weights in external-beam radiotherapy is at present generally based upon the experience of the planner. Therefore, automated selection of beam angles and weights in forward-planned radiotherapy will be beneficial. Material and Methods: In this work, an efficient method is presented within the MATLAB environment to investigate how to improv...
متن کاملAutomatic Adaptive Inverse Planning Optimization for H&N Cancer Radiotherapy
An iterative method was developed for the adaptive inverse planning automation. The expected treatment dose in organs of interest constructed using the previous and on going treatment plans, and daily CBCT images was utilized to setup an initial criteria for each organ in the objective function. Following the initial inverse planning optimization, the achieved objective value was used to modify...

متن کاملQuantitative comparison of automatic and manual IMRT optimization for prostate cancer: the benefits of DVH prediction
A recent publication indicated that the patient anatomical feature (PAF) model was capable of predicting optimal objectives based on past experience. In this study, the benefits of IMRT optimization using PAF-predicted objectives as guidance for prostate were evaluated. Three different optimization methods were compared.1) Expert Plan: Ten prostate cases (16 plans) were planned by an expert pla...
