Optimal radiotherapy treatment planning using minimum entropy models

We study the problem of finding an optimal radiotherapy treatment plan. A time-dependent Boltzmann particle transport model is used to model the interaction between radiative particles with tissue. This model allows for the modeling of inhomogeneities in the body and allows for anisotropic sources modeling distributed radiation—as in brachytherapy—and external beam sources—as in teletherapy. We...

Radiotherapy treatment planning

In radical radiotherapy treatment we aim to accurately deliver a lethal dose of radiation to tumour cells while sparing any surrounding normal tissues. Radiotherapy treatment planning is the process undertaken to determine the most appropriate way to deliver the radiation in order to meet the clinical prescription. Rapid advances in technology and computing, particularly in relation to imaging,...

Compositional Planning Using Optimal Option Models

In this paper we introduce a framework for option model composition. Option models are temporal abstractions that, like macrooperators in classical planning, jump directly from a start state to an end state. Prior work has focused on constructing option models from primitive actions, by intra-option model learning; or on using option models to construct a value function, by inter-option plannin...

Optimal robot plant planning using the minimum-time criterion

(15) Because (H b , H2y, Hlz) are known from (15), (13) can be used to solve for 0, and e2. Two values of O2 are obtained from (13c). &=arcsin (-HzZ/q3), and (T-02). Then 19, can be found unambiguously from (13a) and (13b).

Comparing the results of 3D treatment planning and practical dosimetry in craniospinal radiotherapy using Rando phantom

Background: Craniospinal radiotherapy faces technical challenges which are due to the sensitivity of the location in which the gross tumor is, and to organs at risk around planning target volume. Using modern treatment planning systems causes a reduction in the complexities of the treatment techniques. The most effective method to assess the dosimetric accuracy and the validity of the ...
