چکیده

The optimization of a Fuzzy Cognitive Map model for the supervision and monitoring of the radiotherapy process is proposed. This is performed through the minimization of the corresponding objective function by using the Particle Swarm Optimization and the Differential Evolution algorithms. The proposed approach determines the cause–effect relationships among the concepts of the supervisor–Fuzzy Cognitive Map by computing its optimal weight matrix, through extensive experiments. Results are reported and discussed.

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...
