What is Dosimetric Comparison between Multiple-Arc RapidArc, Static Beam Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, and Helical TomoTherapy for Brain Tumor Treatment about?
deliverable. The TV-regularized optimization, on the other hand, may yield fields possessing piece-wise constant derivatives, which translates into two or more segmented wedged fields. This type of solution is readily deliverable using dynamic jaw or MLC. Given the widespread acceptance of IMRT inverse planning, this new type of planning and delivery scheme may prove to be a natural way to plan and deliver 3D RT because of the gain is not only in the improved dose distribution, but also in the elimination of commissioning and quality assurance of conventional dynamic or physical wedge filters. Conclusions: An inverse planning framework is established to automate the 3D RT treatment planning. The proposed methods take advantage of the fact that 3D RT is a special form of IMRT and finds optimal plan by searching for fields with a certain type of spatial variations. The approach unifies the inverse planning of 3D RT and IMRT and thus makes easy the implementation of the proposed methods in an existing IMRT inverse planning platform.
