IMRT

How to evaluate and find the best strategy?: Treatment course simulation approaches

multiple organ contours and setup errors values • either measured in a patient study • and/or simulated based on motion model

treatment plan, dose distribution

sample N fractions

(e.g. 35) setup error

repeat thousands

values and organ geometries

of times

evaluate and average/sum-up dose for these N fractions samples

Probability distribution of organ doses
