Comparison of graphical optimization or IPSA for improving brachytheraphy plans associated with inadequate target coverage for cervical cancer
Abstract Many studies have reported that inverse planning by simulated annealing (IPSA) can improve the quality of brachytherapy plans, and we wanted to examine whether IPSA could improve cervical cancer brachytherapy plans giving D90 < 6 Gy (with 7 Gy per fraction) at our institution. Various IP...
