

in-house developed algorithm for integrated beam intensity

optimization and BAO



core is 2pεc



beam intensity optimization



multi-criteria optimization



1 pareto optimal plan is generated based on a

‘wishlist’ with prioritized objectives and hard constraints



wishlists can be used for broad ranges of patients, e.g. all

head and neck patients that need sparing of salivary glands



planning is automated (‘

push button system

’),

excellent plans without ‘tweaking’ of parameters,

the result is operator independent
