The impact of direct aperture optimization on plan quality and efficiency in complex head and neck IMRT

BACKGROUND: Conventional step&shoot intensity modulated radio therapy (IMRT) approaches potentially lead to treatment plans with high numbers of segments and monitor units (MU) and, therefore, could be time consuming at the linear accelerator. Direct optimization methods are able to reduce the c...
