Overview
The workshop will explore advanced and robust computational approaches
for: 1. tackling non-systematic errors in intensity modulated radiation
therapy (IMRT) treatment planning; and 2. image-guided radiation therapy
(IGRT) techniques for incorporating organ motions and other non-stationary
geometry into the treatment planning process.
The workshop consists of three core groups of presentations. The first
two consist of talks by physicists, clinicians and operations researchers
on image-guided therapy and robust optimization approaches for managing
organ motion and uncertainties. The third, an evening event, incorporating
the ongoing Fields Industrial Optimization Seminar, includes a leading
optimization researcher presenting computational strategies for large-scale
IMRT planning, and a physicist discussing computational challenges in
the field.
