Minimum-MU and sparse-energy-layer (MMSEL) constrained inverse optimization method for efficiently deliverable PBS plans

The deliverability of proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) plans is subject to the minimum monitor-unit (MU) constraint, while the delivery efficiency depends on the number of proton energy layers. This work develops an inverse optimization method for generating efficiently deliverable PBS plans. The p...
