(Geometrical “Optimisation”, GO)
GO does not need anatomical information. It’s goal is to
homogenize the dose distribution around the catheters. Assuming
that the catheters are inserted in such a way that their geometrical
Lets summarize (I):
distribution fits to the geometry of the PTV, then the resulted dose
distribution is expecting to fit more or less to the anatomy.
=> It is planner‘s responsibility to evaluate the dose
distribution with respect to anatomy, GO does not understand it!
