Determining Clinical Patient Selection Guidelines for Head and Neck Adaptive Radiation Therapy Using Random Forest Modelling and a Novel Simplification Heuristic

Determining Clinical Patient Selection Guidelines for Head and Neck Adaptive Radiation Therapy Using Random Forest Modelling and a Novel Simplification Heuristic

PurposeTo determine which head and neck adaptive radiotherapy (ART) correction objectives are feasible and to derive efficient ART patient selection guidelines.MethodsWe considered various head and neck ART objectives including independent consideration of dose-sparing of the brainstem/spinal cord,...
