Radiation treatment planning with embedded dose escalation [PDF]
Radiation Oncology, 2019 Background Heterogeneous target doses are a common by-product from attempts to improve normal tissue sparing in radiosurgery treatment planning. These regions of escalated dose within the target may increase tumor control probability (TCP).

Radiation treatment planning [PDF]
Cancer, 1977 Radiation treatment planning has developed into a substantial and effective component of the entire radiation treatment approach. Over the last 2 decades, with the development of high energy electron and x-ray sources, and also with the availability of new radionuclides and techniques for internally applied radiation, all of which permit a high degree ...

A computer method for radiation treatment planning [PDF]
Communications of the ACM, 1962 Automatic computation methods were first developed and applied to the problem of radiation therapy treatment planning by the Physics staff at Memorial Hospital and Sloan-Kettering Institute in 1954 and reported in 1955 [1]. The field of radiation from a single port was stored as a matrix in a library of punched cards, and a sorter and accounting ...
