    This study introduces a novel method for optimizing particle therapy by simultaneously adjusting beam energy, trajectory, and intensity. This advanced approach enhances treatment planning for spot-scanning particle therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Inverse treatment planning in spot-scanning particle therapy typically optimizes only beam fluences.
    • Existing methods do not simultaneously optimize beam fluences, trajectories, and energies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a method for jointly optimizing beam fluences, trajectories, and energies in spot-scanning particle therapy.
    • To address the limitations of current inverse treatment planning approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • A simulated annealing algorithm was designed with a specialized exploration mechanism.
    • The algorithm balances mixing time at high temperatures and acceptance rate at low temperatures.
    • Joint optimization of beam fluences, trajectories, and energies was performed.
