This study aimed to predict the outcome of patient specific quality assurance (PSQA) in IMRT
for breast cancer using complexity metrics, such as MU factor, MAD, CAS, MCS. Several …

Delivery time factor (DTF) is a new parameter introduced by the RayStation treatment
planning system for tomotherapy treatment planning. This study investigated the effects of …

Radiation treatment planning plays an important role in modern radiation therapy; it could
simulate to plan the geometric, radiobiological, and dosimetric aspects of the therapy using …

Optimization has become one of the important fields in Mathematics. Many problems in
engineering and science can be formulated into optimization problems. They maybe have …

Purpose Since the modulation factor (MF) impacts both plan quality and delivery efficiency in
tomotherapy Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) treatment planning, the purpose …

Purpose Radiation treatment planning inherently involves multiple conflicting planning
goals, which makes it a suitable application for multicriteria optimization (MCO). This study …

In this paper, we propose and study a unified mixed-integer programming model that
simultaneously optimizes fluence weights and multi-leaf collimator (MLC) apertures in the …

Objectives: Hippocampus-sparing whole-brain radiotherapy (HS-WBRT) using tomotherapy
is known to provide a better dose distribution than volumetric-modulated arc therapy but …

In this study, set-up accuracy and time consumption of different image-guidance protocols
used for prostate cancer patients were compared. Set-up corrections from 60 prostate …

Purpose To report potential dose heterogeneity leading to underdosing at different skeletal
sites in total marrow irradiation (TMI) with helical tomotherapy due to the thread effect and …
