摘要
En 中文
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most popular techniques for cancer treatment. However, existing IMRT planning methods can only generate one solution at a time and, consequently, medical physicists should perform the planning process many times to obtain diverse solutions to meet the requirement of a clinical case. Meanwhile, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have not been fully exploited in IMRT planning since they are ineffective in optimizing the large number of discrete variables of IMRT. To bridge the gap, this article formulates IMRT planning into a large-scale combinatorial many-objective optimization problem and proposes a coevolutionary algorithm to solve it. In contrast to the existing MOEAs handling high-dimensional search spaces via variable grouping or dimensionality reduction, the proposed algorithm evolves one population with fine encoding for local exploitation and evolves another population with rough encoding for global exploration. Moreover, the convergence speed is further accelerated by two customized local search strategies. The experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art MOEAs and IMRT planning methods on a variety of clinical cases.
