Homogenized blocked arcs for multicriteria optimization of radiotherapy: analytical and numerical solutions.

PURPOSE: Homogenized blocked arcs are intuitively appealing as basis functions for multicriteria optimization of rotational radiotherapy. Such arcs avoid an organ-at-risk (OAR), spread dose out well over the rest-of-body (ROB), and deliver homogeneous doses to a planning target volume (PTV) using in...
