Final remarks
this is not more than an introduction, see Bibliography for further reading important ommission: how to deal with tumor deformations establish Σ( j ) and σ( j ) for various parts j of the tumor and use M(j)=2.5Σ (j ) +0.7 σ( j ) Monte Carlo simulations including models for non-rigid motion derived for multiple CT-scans per patients: Mutanga et al 2012 If tumor moves then also surroundig tissues move: omit margins and incorporate motion distributions for tumor and OAR in cost functions for IMRT optimization (robust planning) IT ALL STARTS WITH MEASURING ERRORS!!!
