Determination of optimal number of beams in direct machine parameter optimization-based intensity modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cases

This paper aims to introduce an algorithm called “sensitivity-based beam number selection (SBBNS)” for fully automated and case-specific determination of an optimal number of equispaced beams in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). We tested the algorithm in five head and neck cases of varying c...
