Abstract:We have proposed a new sampling method (CBS), along with corresponding new techniques including boundary sampling and grid sampling, to improve time and space efficiency of IMRT optimization. A corresponding theory is developed to quantify the error bound. Experimental results have shown that our new methods significantly reduce solution time and memory costs with negligible impact on resulting plan quality.
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.
