A matter of timing: identifying significant multi-dose radiotherapy improvements by numerical simulation and genetic algorithm search.
Multi-dose radiotherapy protocols (fraction dose and timing) currently used in the clinic are the product of human selection based on habit, received wisdom, physician experience and intra-day patient timetabling. However, due to combinatorial considerations, the potential treatment protocol space f...
