An experimental investigation on the effect of beam angle optimization on the reduction of beam numbers in IMRT of head and neck tumors

In static intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the fundamental factors that determine the quality of a plan are the number of beams and their angles. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of beam angle optimization (BAO) on the beam number in IMRT. We used six head and ne...
