A large number of problems involve making decisions in an uncertain environment and,
hence, with unknown outcomes. Optimization models aimed at controlling the trade‐off …

Introduction Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to the breast offers the potential for
excellent dose conformity with the possibility of integrating a simultaneous boost within the …

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows for the design of customized, highly
conformal treatments for cancer patients. Creating IMRT treatment plans, however, is a …

Radiation therapy treatment planning is inherently a multiobjective problem, aiming to obtain
the best tradeoffs between irradiating the tumor with the prescribed dose and sparing as …

This article presents a new Multi-Criteria Decision Aiding preference disaggregation method
based on an asymmetric target-based model. The decision maker's preferences are elicited …

Abstract Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is the state-of-the-art technique for
external radiation therapy treatment. In this method, radiation can be delivered continuously …

The volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) problem is highly non-convex and much more
difficult than the fixed-field intensity modulated radiotherapy optimization problem. To solve it …

In this study we develop an efficient computational procedure that generates medically
acceptable treatment plans for volumetric modulated arc therapy with constant gantry speed …

Within the setting of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and the fully continuous
version of IMRT called volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT), we consider the …

Purpose To characterize treatment plan (TP) quality, a quantitative quality control (QC) tool
is proposed. The tool is validated using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for …
