A multiobjective gradient-based dose optimization algorithm for external beam conformal radiotherapy.
A multiobjective gradient-based algorithm has been developed for the purpose of dose distribution optimization in external beam conformal radiotherapy. This algorithm is based on the concept of gathering the values of all objectives into a single value. The weighting factors of the composite objective values are varied in different steps, allowing the reconstruction of the trade-off surfaces (t...
متن کاملA 3D pencil-beam-based superposition algorithm for photon dose calculation in heterogeneous media.
In this work, a novel three-dimensional superposition algorithm for photon dose calculation is presented. The dose calculation is performed as a superposition of pencil beams, which are modified based on tissue electron densities. The pencil beams have been derived from Monte Carlo simulations, and are separated into lateral and depth-directed components. The lateral component is modeled using ...
متن کاملComparison of 3D CRT and IMRT Tratment Plans
Plans of patients with prostate tumor have been studied. These patients have been scanned in the CT simulator and the images have been sent to the Focal, the system where the doctor delineates the tumor and the organs at risk. After that in the treatment planning system XiO there are created for the same patients three dimensional conformal and intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment plans. ...
متن کاملFast SFFS-Based Algorithm for Feature Selection in Biomedical Datasets
Biomedical datasets usually include a large number of features relative to the number of samples. However, some data dimensions may be less relevant or even irrelevant to the output class. Selection of an optimal subset of features is critical, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification results. To this end, this paper presents a hybrid method of filter and wr...
متن کاملThe comparison of dose distribution of different 3D conformal and conventional radiotherapy plans for gastric cancer
Aims: It was aimed to investigate postoperative conformal radiotherapy planning that provides the best target volume and the least dose for critical organs in cancers of stomach. Methods: This study was conducted on the CT simulation images of thirty patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. Target volumes and the organs at risk were contoured. AP-PA reciprocal parallel field conventional plan an...
