A Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm for Multiobjective Anatomy Based Dose Optimization in HDR Brachytherapy
Multiple objectives must be considered in anatomy based dose optimization for high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy and a large number of parameters must be optimized to satisfy often competing objectives. For objectives expressed solely in terms of dose variances, deterministic gradient-based algorithms can be applied and a weighted sum approach is able to produce a representative set of non-domi...
متن کاملInteractive multiobjective optimization for anatomy-based three-dimensional HDR brachytherapy.
In this paper, we present an anatomy-based three-dimensional dose optimization approach for HDR brachytherapy using interactive multiobjective optimization (IMOO). In brachytherapy, the goals are to irradiate a tumor without causing damage to healthy tissue. These goals are often conflicting, i.e. when one target is optimized the other will suffer, and the solution is a compromise between them....
متن کاملA new CT prostate segmentation for CT-based HDR brachytherapy
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy has become a popular treatment modality for localized prostate cancer. Prostate HDR treatment involves placing 10 to 20 catheters (needles) into the prostate gland, and then delivering radiation dose to the cancerous regions through these catheters. These catheters are often inserted with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance and the HDR treatment plan is bas...
متن کاملEvolutionary algorithm-based multi-criteria optimization of triboelectrostatic separator
A device for electrostatic separation of triboelectrically charged plastic particles is modeled and optimized. Electric field in the system is solved numerically by a fully adaptive higher-order finite element method. The movement of particles in the device is determined by an adaptive Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The shape optimization of the electrodes is carried out by a technique based on g...
متن کاملUsing PSO algorithm optimization for planning 103Pd seeds brachytherapy positions
Radiation therapy, is one of the treatments for cancer. Brachytherapy is a radiotherapeutic technique that a sealed radiation source is placed inside or next to the tissue and has become a mainstream treatment option for cancer. Achieving maximum dose to the gland as well as minimum injury to the adjacent tissues is a basic principle in radiation therapy. Sources configuration must be designed ...
