Mixed integer programming optimization models for brachytherapy treatment planning
1Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA.
Abstract:
Mixed integer programming is proposed as an approach for generating treatment plans for brachytherapy. Two related but distinct, mixed integer programming models are tested on data from eight prostate cancer patients. The results demonstrate that in some cases, "good" treatment plans can be obtained in less than five CPU minutes.
