Linear programing formulations and algorithms for radiotherapy treatment planning
Optimization has become an important tool in treatment planning for cancer radiation therapy. It may be used to determine beam weights, beam directions, and appropriate use of beam modifiers such as wedges and blocks, with the aim of delivering a required dose to the tumor, while sparing nearby critical structures and normal tissue. Linear programing formulations are a core computation in many ...
متن کاملAlgorithms for magne c resonance imaging in radiotherapy
Radiotherapy plays an increasingly important role in cancer treatment, and medical imaging plays an increasingly important role in radiotherapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is poised to be a major component in the development towards more effective radiotherapy treatments with fewer side effects. This thesis attempts to contribute in realizing this potential. Radiotherapy planning requires...

متن کاملAlgorithms for Biological Dose Optimization in Ion Beam Radiotherapy
From 1997 until 2008 about 440 cancer patients were successfully treated in the ion therapy project at GSI. The patient treatment planning was performed with the software TRiP [1, 2]. A crucial part of the treatment planning is the particle number optimization with the goal to achieve a target dose distribution as close as possible to the prescribed biological dose distribution. The optimizatio...
متن کاملRadiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours
ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...
