摘要
En 中文
The convexity of objectives and constraints in fluence map optimization (FMO) for radiation therapy has been extensively studied. Next to convexity, there is another important characteristic of optimization functions and problems, which has thus far not been considered in FMO literature: conic representation. Optimization problems that are conically representable using quadratic, exponential and power cones are solvable with advanced primal-dual interior-point algorithms. These algorithms guarantee an optimal solution in polynomial time and have good performance in practice. In this paper, we construct conic representations for most FMO objectives and constraints. This paper is the first that shows that FMO problems containing multiple biological evaluation criteria can be solved in polynomial time. For fractionation-corrected functions for which no exact conic reformulation is found, we provide an accurate approximation that is conically representable. We present numerical results on the TROTS data set, which demonstrate very stable numerical performance for solving FMO problems in conic form. With ongoing research in the optimization community, improvements in speed can be expected, which makes conic optimization a promising alternative for solving FMO problems.
