On-line Adaptive Radiation Treatment of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

Organ motion is a major uncertainty in prostate cancer treatment. In this project, we are developing online adaptive treatment that can compensate organ motion in daily treatments. The specific aims of this project are to develop the key technical components for online adaptive treatment, which include parallel deformable image registration algorithm, parallel dose calculation and plan optimization algorithms.
