radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning. Method The optimization algorithm is …

Purpose Current treatment planning remains a costly and labor intensive procedure and
requires multiple trial‐and‐error adjustments of system parameters such as the weighting …

Brachytherapy is a critical modality in treatment of cervix cancer. However, developing a
clinically acceptable plan is a time-consuming manual process. In this article, we propose a …

Background The importance of robust proton treatment planning to mitigate the impact of
uncertainty is well understood. However, its computational cost grows with the number of …

Purpose In a recent article, our group proposed a fast direct aperture optimization (DAO)
algorithm for fixed‐gantry intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) called fast inverse …

Beam angle configuration is a major planning decision in intensity modulated radiation
treatment (IMRT) that has a significant impact on dose distributions and thus quality of …

An autopilot scheme of volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT)/intensity‐modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT) planning with the guidance of prior knowledge is established with …

In this paper, we propose a nonsmooth trust region algorithm for nonconvex optimization
problems. The algorithm is based on notion of the Goldstein-subdifferential, which are …

Background: Radiotherapy treatment planning involves solving large-scale optimization
problems that are often approximated and solved sub-optimally due to time constraints …

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 …
