Comparison of non-coplanar optimization of static beams and arc trajectories for intensity-modulated treatments of meningioma cases

Comparison of non-coplanar optimization of static beams and arc trajectories for intensity-modulated treatments of meningioma cases

Two methods for non-coplanar beam direction optimization, one for static beams and another for arc trajectories, were proposed for intracranial tumours. The results of the beam angle optimizations were compared with the beam directions used in the clinical plans. Ten meningioma cases already treated...
