Evaluating the application of Pareto navigation guided automated radiotherapy treatment planning to prostate cancer
Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment plan generation is a complex process, traditionally performed manually by medical physicists or specialist dosimetrists. Manual methods can be time consuming and dependent on the treatment planner ’s experience [1]. A solution to this problem is automated planning, where high quality plans are generated autonomously with minimal operator interaction [2–9].
