[Automatic adaptation of stationary field dose distributions to the individual geometry of the patient. II: A model for adaptation of dose distributions].

Abstract

Starting point for automatic adaptation of a dose distribution is a starting variant which parameters values are fixed as a matter of experience. On base of this starting variant a limited number of variants is produced and the "quality" of the attained dose distribution in each case is expressed by an added measure function value. A gradual improvement of adaptation of dose distribution to individual geometry of patients is done by pointed search of new parameter values for field breadths, field beginning points, field weights, and field insolation directions.
