Systematic optimization for the rapid generation of high-quality online adapted proton therapy plans in a commercial treatment planning system

Online adaptive proton therapy (OAPT) requires a fast plan optimization. Different optimization parameters of a commercial treatment planning system were investigated for OAPT of locally advanced non-small cell lung-cancer patients. With the selected parameters, clinical-quality plans were optimized within a median time of 4 min, currently deemed acceptable for OAPT.

Abstract

Online adaptive proton therapy (OAPT) requires a fast plan optimization. Different optimization parameters of a commercial treatment planning system were investigated for OAPT of locally advanced non-small cell lung-cancer patients. With the selected parameters, clinical-quality plans were optimized within a median time of 4 min, currently deemed acceptable for OAPT.
