An Optimization Framework for Conformal Radiation Treatment Planning
An optimization framework for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy is presented. In this type of therapy, beams of radiation are applied to a patient from different directions, where the aperture through which the beam is delivered from each direction is chosen to match the shape of the tumor, as viewed from that direction. Given a set of equispaced beam angles, a mixed-integer linear ...
متن کاملAn Optimization Framework for Interdependent Planning Goals
This paper describes an approach for optimizing over interdependent planning goals. Most planning systems allow only simple, static dependencies to be defined among goals where these dependencies remain constant between different problems. However, in many domains, goals are related through detailed utility models that may significantly change from problem to problem. For instance in one proble...
متن کاملOptimization Tools for Radiation Treatment Planning in Matlab
This paper describes a suite of optimization tools for radiation treatment planning within the Matlab programming environment. The data included with these tools was computed for real patient cases using a Monte Carlo dose engine. The formulation of a series of optimization models is described that utilizes this data within a modeling system. Furthermore, visualization techniques are provided t...
متن کاملAn Optimization Approach for Radiosurgery Treatment Planning
We outline a new approach for radiosurgery treatment planning, based on solving a series of optimization problems. We consider a specific treatment planning problem for a specialized device known as the Gamma Knife, that provides an advanced stereotactic approach to the treatment of tumors, vascular malformations, and pain disorders within the head. The sequence of optimization problems involve...
