Abstract
The place of optimization in treatment planning is discussed and the difficulties examined. A model computer program for optimizing 2 or 3 field treatments is described in which dose gradients are represented by vectors. Three criteria[long dash]uniformity, tumor dose and integral dose[long dash]are used in the program to select the optimum.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
