The Scatter Search Based Algorithm for Beam Angle Optimization in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

This article introduces a new framework for beam angle optimization (BAO) in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using the Scatter Search Based Algorithm. The potential benefits of plans employing the coplanar optimized beam sets are also examined. In the proposed beam angle selection algor...
