Feasibility study for marker-based VMAT plan optimization toward tumor tracking.

In conclusion, we demonstrate that visibility constraints can be incorporated into the optimization together with dosimetric objectives to produce treatment plans satisfying both objectives. This approach should ensure greater clinical success when applying real-time tracking algorithms, using VMAT delivery.
