Analytical probabilistic modeling for radiation therapy treatment planning.
This paper introduces the concept of analytical probabilistic modeling (APM) to quantify uncertainties in quality indicators of radiation therapy treatment plans. Assuming Gaussian probability densities over the input parameters of the treatment plan quality indicators, APM enables the calculation of the moments of the induced probability density over the treatment plan quality indicators by an...
متن کاملOptimizing 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 کاملA method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy planning optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: To investigate a method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in order to reduce the influence of subjective factors. Materials and Methods: This study is based on example IMRT plans for NPC, which were randomly divided into data acquisition and data verification groups. Organs at risk (OARs) were analyzed for...
متن کاملInteger Programming Applied to Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
In intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) not only is the shape of the beam controlled, but combinations of open and closed multileaf collimators modulate the intensity as well. In this paper, we offer a mixed integer programming approach which allows optimization over beamlet fluence weights as well as beam and couch angles. Computational strategies, including a constraint and column gen...
