A 4D IMRT planning method using deformable image registration to improve normal tissue sparing with contemporary delivery techniques

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We propose a planning method to design true 4-dimensional (4D) intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans, called the t4Dplan method, in which the planning target volume (PTV) of the individual phases of the 4D computed tomography (CT) and the conventional PTV...
