Beam angle optimization in IMRT using RBFs within the pattern search methods framework
In radiation therapy treatment planning, the selection of appropriate radiation incidence directions is decisive for the quality of the treatment plan, both for appropriate tumor coverage and for enhance better organs sparing. However, the beam angle optimization (BAO) problem is yet to be solved in a satisfactory way. The objective of this research report is to discuss the benefits of using ra...
متن کاملIMRT Beam Angle Optimization Using Electromagnetism-Like Algorithm
The selection of appropriate beam irradiation directions in radiotherapy – beam angle optimization (BAO) problem – is very important for the quality of the treatment, both for improving tumor irradiation and for better organs sparing. However, the BAO problem is still not solved satisfactorily and, most of the time, beam directions continue to be manually selected in clinical practice which req...

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...
