Abstract:Intensity and energy modulated radiotherapy dose planning with protons and very-high energy ͑50-250 MeV͒ electron beams has been investigated. A general-purpose inverse treatment planning ͑ITP͒ system that can be applied to any combination of proton, electron and photon radiation modalities in therapy has been developed. The new ITP program uses a very fast proton dose calculation engine and employs one of the most efficient optimization algorithms currently available. First, the ITP program was employed to in… Show more
