What is A Retrospective Comparison of using Image-guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) with Three Different Methods: a) No Re-planning, b) Patient-specific Library Planning and c) Instant Re-planning Radiation Therapy (IRRT) about?
Conclusions: Plan adaptation for daily CT-scans using Lagrange multipliers obtained during planning is 5-10 times faster than doing a full daily optimization, while resulting plans are almost identical. Both for prostate and cervical cancer, daily re-planning results in large improvements in accumulated total dose distributions. For the patients studied here, the benefit of daily plan adjustment while accounting for dose delivered in previous fractions is negligible compared to simply generating for each fraction the best plan of the day. As on-line image registration can be omitted, the latter approach is simpler and faster.
