An Approach in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning: A Fast, GPU-Based Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: An accurate and fast radiation dose calculation is essential for successful radiation radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to implement a new graphic processing unit (GPU) based radiation therapy treatment planning for accurate and fast dose calculation in radiotherapy centers. Materials and Methods: A program was written for parallel runnin...
متن کاملParallelization of Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning(RTTP) : A Case Study
Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to treat cancerous tumors. This paper reports our experiences with the parallelization of a real-world 3-D radiation therapy treatment planning (RTTP) system on a wide range of platforms, including SMP servers, Cray J916 vector machines, and clusters of SMPs. The RTTP system is a meta-problem, comprising two major loosely-coupled components: dose calcul...
متن کاملThe effect of CT contrast agents on treatment planning and dose calculation in radiation therapy of pelvis cancers
Introduction: Using contrast medium in diagnosis and identifying of an organ from its surrounding tissue is very useful. These contrast mediums alter radiation absorption of studied organs. The aim of this study is to identify the influences of contrast media in treatment planning system of the pelvis. Materials and Methods: Seven patients with pelvis area ...
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...
متن کامل3D treatment planning and intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
Three-dimensional (3D) image-based treatment planning and new delivery technologies have spurred the implementation of external beam radiation therapy techniques, in which the high-dose region is conformed much more closely to the target volume than previously possible, thus reducing the volume of normal tissues receiving a high dose. This form of external beam irradiation is referred to as 3D ...
