Incorporating Treatment Time into Butterfly Optimization to Reduce Total Treatment Time for Vaginal Cylinder Brachytherapy

Purpose For patient comfort and safety, irradiation times should be kept at a minimum while maintaining high treatment quality. In this study of high dose rate (HDR) therapy with a vaginal cylinder, we used the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) to simultaneously optimize individual dwell times...
