Dosimetric Comparison of Two Craniospinal Radiotherapy Techniques for Treatment Optimization
Introduction: Orthogonal radial fields are those in which the central axes are perpendicular to each other. An example of these orthogonal fields is the set of craniospinal orthogonal fields that are used for radiotherapy of medulloblastoma. Craniospinal radial fields consist of two parallel-opposed fields for brain exposure and one or two posterior spinal fields for spinal cord exposure. The m...
متن کاملOptimization of Beam Orientation and Weight in Radiotherapy Treatment Planning using a Genetic Algorithm
Introduction: The selection of suitable beam angles and weights in external-beam radiotherapy is at present generally based upon the experience of the planner. Therefore, automated selection of beam angles and weights in forward-planned radiotherapy will be beneficial. Material and Methods: In this work, an efficient method is presented within the MATLAB environment to investigate how to improv...
متن کاملOn convergence of the optimization process in Radiotherapy treatment planning
The Radiotherapy treatment planning optimization process based on a quasi-Newton algorithm with an object function containing dose-volume constraints is not guaranteed to converge when the dose value in the dose-volume constraint is a critical value of the dose distribution. This is caused by finite differentiability of the dose-volume histogram at such values. A closer look near such values re...
متن کاملRadiotherapy 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,...
متن کاملTreatment planning for the GSI radiotherapy
Throughout the year 2000 our standard treatment planning software TRiP98 [1, 2] which went into production last year [3] was used in combination with the Voxelplan environment for the planning of all 32 patients [4]. Specific improvements on the software side were the introduction of inhomogeneous dose prescriptions, extensions of the beam model and addition of auxiliary functions. Inhomogeneou...
