FLUENCE MAP OPTIMIZATION IN INTENSITY MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY FOR FUZZY TARGET DOSE
Although many methods exist for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) fluence map optimization for crisp data, based on clinical practice, some of the involved parameters are fuzzy. In this paper, the best fluence maps for an IMRT procedure were identifed as a solution of an optimization problem with a quadratic objective function, where the prescribed target dose vector was fuzzy. First, a d...
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 کاملInfluence of Compensator Thickness and Field Size on Buildup factor of a Brass Compensator for Intensity- Modulated Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the effective methods in the treatment of cancer. In the recent methods of radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technique by compensators is used. when photon beam passes the compensator, scattered photons can be generated within the compensator. The presence of scattered photons may complicate the design of compensators as...

متن کاملDirect Aperture Optimization for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy: Two Calibrated Metaheuristics and Liver Cancer Case Study
Integrated treatment planning for cancer patients has high importance in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Direct aperture optimization (DAO) is one of the prominent approaches used in recent years to attain this goal. Considering a set of beam directions, DAO is an integrated approach to optimize the intensity and leaf position of apertures in each direction. In this paper, first, ...
