摘要

ObjectiveRobotic radiosurgery uses the kinematic flexibility of a robotic arm to target tumors and lesions from many different directions. This approach allows to focus the dose to the target region while sparing healthy surrounding tissue. However, the flexibility in the placement of treatment beams is also a challenge during treatment planning. We study an approach to make the search for treatment beams more efficient by considering previous treatment plans.
