  1. Planning • Clinical Aspects • Radiobiological Aspects Delivery Arthur Boyer Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford, California • Verification

  2. Conventional planning Time IMRT planning Complexity

  3. Establish the Correspondence Between Output and Input Output Input Specify quantities that describe a patient’s quality of life (e.g., Karnofsky status) Desired output Specify TCP and NTCP--biological model Specify a dose distribution--dose based model

  4. Procedures of Inverse Planning Computation Optimal Input Output Construct an objective function F = F (input parameters) = F (w1,w2,w3,….,wJ) Optimize F and find the optimal beam profiles Convert beam profiles into MLC leaf sequences

  5. Dosimetric: F = [Dc(1)-D0(1)]2 +[Dc(2)-D0(2)]2 + ... w1 Beam profile Dc(1) D0(1) Dc(2) D0(2)

  6. An objective function is a mathematical “measurement” of radiation treatment. • ~2000 pencil beam weights, non-linear system. • It should, ideally, include all of our knowledge of radiotherapy: dosimetry based and biological model based objective function.

  7. Optimization of a multi-dimensional • objective function • Matrix Inversion • Iterative methods • Computer simulated annealing • Genetic optimization • Filtered backprojection
