Summary



Experience with IMRT and IGRT continues to grow.



IGRT:



provides explicit information to moderate uncertainties.



is currently limited to simple on-line interventions



must evolve to support more complex interventions



IGRT requires further development



Accumulate statistical models of organ movement and setup error.



Reduce time and effort required for re-planning



Planning and IGRT:



Adaptive control (driven by model-based feedback)



Robust control (driven by statistical models of uncertainty)



Incorporation of robust criteria reduces effort; e.g. replanning.



Formal methods for balancing trade-offs in control design
