  2. 1. Automated radiation therapy treatment planning by increased accuracy of optimization tools

    Author : Lovisa Engberg; Anders Forsgren; Marina A. Epelman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; intensity-modulated radiation therapy; radiation therapy treatment planning; automated radiation therapy treatment planning; interior-point methods; Optimering; intensitetsmodulerad strålbehandling; dosplanering; automatiserad dosplanering; inrepunktsmetoder; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : Every radiation therapy treatment is preceded by a treatment planning phase. In this phase, a treatment plan that specifies exactly how to irradiate the patient is designed by the treatment planner. READ MORE

  4. 2. Probabilistic machine learning methods for automated radiation therapy treatment planning

    Author : Tianfang Zhang; Jimmy Olsson; Steve Jiang; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : In this thesis, different parts of an automated process for radiation therapy treatment planning are investigated from a mathematical and computational perspective. Whereas traditional inverse planning is labor-intensive, often comprising several reiterations between treatment planner and physician before a plan can be approved, much of recent research have been aimed at using a data-driven approach by learning from historically delivered plans.

    Abstract : Radiotherapy is one of the essential treatments used in the fight against cancer. The goal of radiotherapy is to deliver a high dose of ionising radiation to the tumour volume and at the same time minimise the effect on healthy tissue by reducing the radiation to critical organs.

  6. 4. Radiation Therapy Patient Scheduling: An Operations Research Approach

    Author : Sara Frimodig; Per Enqvist; Jan Kronqvist; Mats Carlsson; Willem-Jan van Hoeve; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radiation therapy scheduling; patient scheduling; multi-appointment scheduling; operations research; integer programming; constraint programming; column generation; Schemaläggning; strålterapi; operationsanalys; heltalsprogrammering; villkorsprogrammering; kolumngenerering; Optimeringslära och systemteori; Optimization and Systems Theory;

    Abstract : The manual scheduling of patients for radiation therapy is difficult and labor-intensive. With the increase in cancer patient numbers, efficient resource planning is an important tool to achieve short waiting times and equal right to care. This thesis studies an operations research approach to the radiation therapy scheduling problem.
