A theoretical framework for prescribing radiotherapy dose distributions using patient-specific biological information.

We present a formalism for using functional imaging both to derive patient-specific radiobiological properties and consequently to prescribe optimal nonuniform radiotherapy dose distributions. The ability to quantitatively assess the response to an initial course of radiotherapy would allow the deri...
