Adaptive Concept
•
Account for patient variations and target geometric variations
•
Systematic feedback of measurements considering TCP and NTCP
•
Compromise between customized margin and appropriate treatment dose
by incorporating the individual patient’s variation measured from initial
treatments – resulting in individualization to each patient
•
Incorporate changes and re-optimize the treatment plan (early) on during
the course of treatment
•
There is no conflict between the ART process and the conventional
treatment process
