Fast non-coplanar beam orientation optimization based on group sparsity
Objective: The selection of beam orientations, which is a key step in radiation treatment planning, is particularly challenging for non-coplanar radiotherapy systems due to the large number of candidate beams. In this paper, we report progress on the group sparsity approach to beam orientation optimization, wherein beam angles are selected by solving a large scale fluence map optimization probl...
متن کاملNeighborhood search approaches to non-coplanar beam orientation optimization for total marrow irradiation using IMRT
We consider the beam orientation optimization (BOO) problem for total marrow irradiation (TMI) treatment planning using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Currently, IMRT is not widely used in TMI treatment delivery; furthermore, the effect of using non-coplanar beam orientations is not known. We propose and implement several variations of a single neighborhood search algorithm that ...
متن کاملIterative Solution Methods for Beam Angle and Fluence Map Optimization in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Planning
We present computational approaches for optimizing beam angles and fluence maps in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) planning. We assume that the number of angles to be used for the treatment is given by the treatment planner. A mixed integer programming (MIP) model and a linear programming (LP) model are used to find an optimal set of beam angles and their corresponding fluence maps...
متن کاملBeam rate influence on dose distribution and fluence map in IMRT dynamic technique.
AIM To examine the impact of beam rate on dose distribution in IMRT plans and then to evaluate agreement of calculated and measured dose distributions for various beam rate values. BACKGROUND Accelerators used in radiotherapy utilize some beam rate modes which can shorten irradiation time and thus reduce ability of patient movement during a treatment session. This aspect should be considered ...
