Abstract:Objective.
An algorithm was developed for automated positioning of lattice points within volumetric modulated arc lattice radiation therapy (VMATLRT) planning. These points are strategically placed within the gross tumor volume(GTV) to receive high doses, adhering to specific separation rules from adjacent organs at risk(OARs). The study goals included enhancing planning safety, consistency, and efficiency while emulating human performance. Approach. A Monte Carlo-based algorithm was designed to optimi… Show more
