Introduction: The RT optimization process is based on iterative evaluations, where you find the best treatment aimed to obtain the major TCP without violating preestablished complications for the normal tissues. The optimization can be done varying the values of the imparted dose, number of the fractions or inter-fraction times, which is the method used by the radiobiological (RB) software; or varying the DVHs how is used by the biologically based TPS (BBTPSs) in their IMRT planning inverse modules. The statistical models project (SMp) has proposed new concepts and TCP/NTCP evaluation methodologies aimed to RT optimizations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
