Automating Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning by using Hierarchical Optimization
<p>The intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) optimizes the beam’s intensity to deliver the prescribed dose to the target while minimizing the radiation exposure to normal structures. The IMRT optimization is a complex optimization problem because of the multiple conflicting objectives in it. …

Evaluation of Deformable Image Registration For Improved 4D Ct-Derived Ventilation For Image Guided Radiotherapy
<p>Recent treatment planning studies have demonstrated the use of physiologic images in radiation therapy treatment planning to identify regions for functional avoidance. This image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) strategy may reduce the injury and/or functional loss following thoracic radiotherapy. 4D …

Thoracic Radiotherapy Treatment Planning With Cine Pet/Ct
… motion causes substantial uncertainty in radiotherapy treatment planning. Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) is a useful tool to image tumor motion during normal respiration. Treatment margins can be reduced by targeting the motion path of the tumor. The expense and complexity of …
