Optimization of Radiotherapy Plan under Uncertainty, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rafiee, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
As a method of cancer treatment or improvement of cancer-related complications, external radiation therapy is prescribed by physicians, in case of detection of a tumor in a region of patient’s body. Over time, various techniques have been developed for external beam radiation therapy. Among which, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), due to its ability to adjust the intensity of radiation beams, has a higher capacity to generate appropriate dose distribution based on tumor size and volume and it is one of the most widely used techniques in cancer treatment centers.The core process in treatment planning is using appropriate computer algorithms which results in posing enough damage to...
