Incorporating deliverable monitor unit constraints into spot intensity optimization in IMPT treatment planning
Purpose: This study is to investigate the feasibility and impact of incorporating deliverable monitor unit (MU) constraints into spot intensity optimization in intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treatment planning. Methods: The current treatment planning system (TPS) for IMPT at our institution disregards the deliverable MU constraints in the spot intensity optimization (SIO) routine. It...
متن کاملIncorporating Asymmetric Distributional Information in Robust Value-at-Risk Optimization
Value-at-Risk (VaR) is one of the most widely accepted risk measures in the financial and insurance industries, yet efficient optimization of VaR remains a very difficult problem. We propose a computationally tractable approximation method for minimizing the VaR of a portfolio based on robust optimization techniques. The method results in the optimization of a modified VaR measure, Asymmetry-Ro...
متن کاملA Robust Knapsack Based Constrained Portfolio Optimization
Many portfolio optimization problems deal with allocation of assets which carry a relatively high market price. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the integer value of assets when we deal with portfolio optimization. In addition, one of the main concerns with most portfolio optimization is associated with the type of constraints considered in different models. In many cases, the resulted p...
متن کاملMulti-scenario based robust intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans can account for set-up errors more effectively in terms of normal tissue sparing than planning target volume (PTV) based intensity-modulated photon plans in the head and neck region
BACKGROUND In a previous report, we compared the conformity of robust intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans with that of helical tomotherapy plans for re-irradiations of head and neck carcinomas using a fixed set-up error of 2 mm. Here, we varied the maximum set-up errors between 0 and 5 mm and compared the robust IMPT-plans with planning target volume (PTV) based intensity-modulated ...
متن کاملFloodplain Planning with Risk-based Optimization
Economical integration of permanent and emergency flood control options is a long-standing problem in water resources planning and management. A two-stage linear programming formulation of this problem is proposed and demonstrated which provides an explicit economic basis for developing integrated floodplain management plans. The approach minimizes the expected value of flood damages and costs,...
