Combinatorial optimisation in radiotherapy treatment planning

Combinatorial optimisation in radiotherapy treatment planning

The goal of radiotherapy is to cover a target area with a desired radiation dose while keeping the exposition of non-target areas as low as possible in order to reduce radiation side effects. In the case of Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT), the dose distribution is typically designed via a...
