Does fluence smoothing reduce the complexity of the intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatment plan? A dosimetric analysis

Background: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) may have too many peaks and valleys, making the treatment plan undeliverable. When there are too many fluency differences between adjacent pixels in the X or Y directions, the X and Y smoothing factors are utilized as weighting factors to pena...
