Analysis of RapidArc optimization strategies using objective function values and dose‐volume histograms
RapidArc is a novel treatment planning and delivery system that has recently been made available for clinical use. Included within the Eclipse treatment planning system are a number of different optimization strategies that can be employed to improve the quality of the final treatment plan. The purpose of this study is to systematically assess three categories of strategies for four phantoms, a...
متن کاملOptimization using Function Values Only
In this paper, we focus on solving global optimization problems using only the values of the objective function. In particular we explore the Simulated Annealing method, and find improvements using techniques in Derivative Free Optimization methods. The first part of the paper examines the well known Simulated Annealing algorithm. We discuss important theoretical results, and we then demonstrat...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Optimization Using Evolution Strategies
The present paper gives an overview of different versions of Evolution Strategies, namely the (1+1) Evolution Strategy, the Higher Order (μ/ρ , λ ) Evolution Strategy and the Niching [κ(μ/ρ ,λ )] Evolution Strategy, and how these methods can be applied to problems in Electrical Engineering. Significant features of the algorithms implemented by the authors are presented. Finally, results are dis...
متن کاملthe relationship between using language learning strategies, learners’ optimism, educational status, duration of learning and demotivation
with the growth of more humanistic approaches towards teaching foreign languages, more emphasis has been put on learners’ feelings, emotions and individual differences. one of the issues in teaching and learning english as a foreign language is demotivation. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the components of language learning strategies, optimism, duration o...
15 صفحه اولFractional labelmaps for computing accurate dose volume histograms
PURPOSE: In radiation therapy treatment planning systems, structures are represented as parallel 2D contours. For treatment planning algorithms, structures must be converted into labelmap (i.e. 3D image denoting structure inside/outside) representations. This is often done by triangulated a surface from contours, which is converted into a binary labelmap. This surface to binary labelmap convers...
