In radiation therapy new delivery techniques have been recently developed. Especially the multileaf collimator (MLC) has provided better facilities to deliver the dose for a cancer patient. The MLC based techniques allow the construction of 3-dimensional and conformal dose distributions. The succesful use of MLC delivery method requires the global optimization of the treatment plan. The paper gives one potential approach to optimize the treatment plan applying the so called multiple static MLC technique. For numerical optimization, the LGO global optimization software system is used. For the comparison of the numerical results, simulated annealing algorithm was used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
