Comparison of direct machine parameter optimization versus fluence optimization with sequential sequencing in IMRT of hypopharyngeal carcinoma
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of direct machine parameter optimization in the treatment planning of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for hypopharyngeal cancer as compared to subsequent leaf sequencing in Oncentra Masterplan v1.5. METHODS For 10 hypopharyngeal cancer patients IMRT plans were generated in Oncentra Masterplan v1.5 (Nucletron BV, Veenendal, the Netherlands) for a...
متن کاملDirect machine parameter optimization for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of oropharyngeal cancer – a planning study
The purpose of the study was to investigate the potential of direct machine parameter optimization (DMPO) to achieve parotid sparing without compromising target coverage in IMRT of oropharyngeal cancer as compared to fluence modulation with subsequent leaf sequencing (IM) and forward planned 2-step arc therapy (IMAT). IMRT plans were generated for 10 oropharyngeal cancer patients using DMPO and...
متن کاملThe Sequential Parameter Optimization Toolbox
The sequential parameter optimization toolbox (SPOT) is one possible implementation of the SPO framework introduced in Chap. 2. It has been successfully applied to numerous heuristics for practical and theoretical optimization problems. We describe the mechanics and interfaces employed by SPOT to enable users to plug in their own algorithms. Furthermore, two case studies are presented to demons...
متن کاملTime-Bounded Sequential Parameter Optimization
The optimization of algorithm performance by automatically identifying good parameter settings is an important problem that has recently attracted much attention in the discrete optimization community. One promising approach constructs predictive performance models and uses them to focus attention on promising regions of a design space. Such methods have become quite sophisticated and have achi...
متن کاملSequential Parameter Optimization in Noisy Environments
Sequential Parameter Optimization is a model-based optimization methodology, which includes several techniques for handling uncertainty. Simple approaches such as sharpening and more sophisticated approaches such as optimal computing budget allocation are available. For many real world engineering problems, the objective function can be evaluated at different levels of fidelity. For instance, a...
