Radiation therapy treatment planning

Main steps in the Radiation Treatment Planning process 1. Define treatment volumes / risk organs 2. Define constraints and objectives 3. Calculate dose distribution by IMRT optimiser 4. Plan evaluation Successful radiotherapy may require a non-uniform dose distribution within the target (tumor).  Exploration of IMRT dose sub-distributions on the way  Imaging main source of information for subvolumes
