17 tips and tricks for happy IMRT planning
avoid voxels with conflicting objectives
create some hierarchy in your objectives in case a organ
at risk has an overlap with your target volume. (some TPSs
intrinsically rank the objectives)
conflicting objectives to the same voxels will increase to total cost and
distract the optimiser from real optimisation problems
carefully chosen objectives will always yield a low total cost in the end
of the optimisation
