Decision theoretic steering and genetic algorithm optimization: Application to stereotactic radiosurgery treatment planning

Treatment planning for stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated radiotherapy is currently a labor intensive, operator-dependent process. Many degrees of freedom exist to make rigorous optimization intractable except by computationally intelligent techniques. The quality of a given plan is determin...
