Optimizing the Scenario Positions for Robust Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
Complex external beam radiation therapy treatment plans are susceptible to errors. Robust optimization methods that take uncertainties into account during the optimization can alleviate the effects of the errors. For many robust methods, the possible error realizations are discretized into scenarios. The methods then aim at achieving high quality plans in all scenarios simultaneously. The choic...
متن کاملTreatment planning optimisation in proton therapy.
The goal of radiotherapy is to achieve uniform target coverage while sparing normal tissue. In proton therapy, the same sources of geometric uncertainty are present as in conventional radiotherapy. However, an important and fundamental difference in proton therapy is that protons have a finite range, highly dependent on the electron density of the material they are traversing, resulting in a st...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy Treatment Planning Optimization
Radiation therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality for cancer patients. Radiation therapy treatment planning for cancer patients provides many challenging optimization problems. Various variables of a treatment plan need to be optimized so that the resulting plan can kill all cancerous cells while minimizing damage on the patient’s normal tissues. Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) h...
متن کاملRobust Strategic Planning Employing Scenario Planning and Fuzzy Inference System
Time and uncertainty play crucial roles in the strategic planning process. Organizations are faced with unpredictable changes in new technologies, products and marketplaces but it is noteworthy that they can prepare themselves to face such changes and this readiness results in competitive advantages. This article aims at introducing a method that enables organizations to draw up robust strategi...
متن کاملImpact of robust treatment planning on single- and multi-field optimized plans for proton beam therapy of unilateral head and neck target volumes
BACKGROUND Proton beam therapy is promising for the treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC), but it is sensitive to uncertainties in patient positioning and particle range. Studies have shown that the planning target volume (PTV) concept may not be sufficient to ensure robustness of the target coverage. A few planning studies have considered irradiation of unilateral HNC targets with protons, b...
