Plan optimization with L0-norm and group sparsity constraints for a new rotational, intensity-modulated brachytherapy for cervical cancer.

The aim of this work is to build a framework that comprehends inverse planning procedure and plan optimization algorithm tailored to a novel directional beam intensity-modulated brachytherapy (IMBT) of cervical cancer using a rotatable, single-channel radiation shield. Inverse planning is required f...
