Red Journal, 2000 LUZ SAINT SAUVEUR SEPTEMBER 2016 RADIOTHERAPY MODELLING Dose painting in RT planning While several issues are resolved, dose painting* is being applied in clinical studies Two approaches for planning dose painting: Dose painting by contour (DPBC) Dose painting by Number (DPBN)
20 Dose painting in RT planning New scenario for planning RT: Conventional dose distribution Dose painting Homogeneus dose to volume Few targets Conventional prescription Fluence optimization Heterogeneous dose to volume Multiple targets Dose escalation Biological optimization
21 New scenario for planning RT New tools should be incorporated to TPS - Dose calculation: Dose painting in RT planning (Our proposal) Higher dose gradients within the target require the most accurate dose calculation engine: Monte Carlo Treatment Planning (MCTP) - Optimization procedure: A more important role for image into the algorithms BIOMAP New restrictions at the voxel level Linear Programming (LP)
