Designing Radiotherapy Plans with Elastic
Constraints and Interior Point Methods
Allen Holder
A new linear programming model used to aid in the design of
radiotherapy plans is introduced. This model incorporates elastic
constraints, and when solved with a path following interior point
method, produces favorable plans. A sound mathematical analysis shows
how to interpret the solution, and hence, the treatment planner
receives meaningful knowledge about the radiotherapy plan being
developed. Preliminary experiments are conducted.
