Simultaneous navigation of multiple Pareto surfaces, with an application to multicriteria IMRT planning with multiple beam angle configurations.
PURPOSE To introduce a method to simultaneously explore a collection of Pareto surfaces. The method will allow radiotherapy treatment planners to interactively explore treatment plans for different beam angle configurations as well as different treatment modalities. METHODS The authors assume a convex optimization setting and represent the Pareto surface for each modality or given beam set by...

متن کاملIterative Approach for Automatic Beam Angle Selection in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Planning
Introduction: Beam-angle optimization (BAO) is a computationally intensive problem for a number of reasons. First, the search space of the solutions is huge, requiring enumeration of all possible beam orientation combinations. For example, when choosing 4 angles out of 36 candidate beam angles, C36 = 58905 possible combinations exist. Second, any change in a beam 4 config...
متن کاملIMRT Beam Angle Optimization Using Electromagnetism-Like Algorithm
The selection of appropriate beam irradiation directions in radiotherapy – beam angle optimization (BAO) problem – is very important for the quality of the treatment, both for improving tumor irradiation and for better organs sparing. However, the BAO problem is still not solved satisfactorily and, most of the time, beam directions continue to be manually selected in clinical practice which req...
متن کاملDose calculations accuracy of TiGRT treatment planning system for small IMRT beamlets in heterogeneous lung phantom
Background: Accurate dose calculations in small beamlets and lung material have been a great challenge for most of treatment planning systems (TPS). In the current study, the dose calculation accuracy of TiGRT TPS was evaluated for small beamlets in water and lung phantom by comparison to Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. Materials and Methods: The head of Siemens Oncor-impression linac...
