Adapting inverse planning to patient and organ geometrical variation: algorithm and implementation

Image guided radiotherapy has the potential to improve both tumour control and normal tissue sparing by including temporal patient specific geometry information into the adaptive planning process. In this study we present a practical method of image guided adaptive inverse planning based on computed...
