Performance evaluation of an algorithm for fast optimization of beam weights in anatomy-based intensity modulated radiotherapy

This study aims to evaluate the performance of a new algorithm for optimization of beam weights in anatomy-based intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The algorithm uses a numerical technique called Gaussian-Elimination that derives the optimum beam weights in an exact or non-iterative way. The d...
