Automatic interactive optimization for volumetric modulated arc therapy planning
BACKGROUND Intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment planning for sites with many different organs-at-risk (OAR) is complex and labor-intensive, making it hard to obtain consistent plan quality. With the aim of addressing this, we developed a program (automatic interactive optimizer, AIO) designed to automate the manual interactive process for the Eclipse treatment planning system. We describe...
متن کاملUltrafast treatment plan optimization for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).
PURPOSE To develop a novel aperture-based algorithm for volumetric modulated are therapy (VMAT) treatment plan optimization with high quality and high efficiency. METHODS The VMAT optimization problem is formulated as a large-scale convex programming problem solved by a column generation approach. The authors consider a cost function consisting two terms, the first enforcing a desired dose di...
متن کاملSmall-arc volumetric-modulated arc therapy
Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is considered to deliver a better dose distribution and to shorten treatment time. There is a lack of research regarding breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) using VMAT with prone positioning. We developed a new small-arc VMAT methodology and compared it to conventional (fixed-field) intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the ...
متن کاملVolumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT )
New calorimeters Simon Duane, NPL Calorimetry remains the most fundamental method for the measurement of absorbed dose and is the basis of almost all absorbed dose primary standards worldwide. Absorbed dose to water is realised either directly, by using water as the absorbing medium, or indirectly, by using another medium (usually graphite) and determining a factor to convert dose from that med...
متن کاملEfficacy of robust optimization plan with partial‐arc VMAT for photon volumetric‐modulated arc therapy: A phantom study
This study investigated position dependence in planning target volume (PTV)-based and robust optimization plans using full-arc and partial-arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The gantry angles at the periphery, intermediate, and center CTV positions were 181°-180° (full-arc VMAT) and 181°-360° (partial-arc VMAT). A PTV-based optimization plan was defined by 5 mm margin expansion of the...
