A New Linear Programming Approach to Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning Problems
We consider the problem of radiation therapy treatment planning for cancer patients. During radiation therapy, beams of radiation pass through a patient, killing both cancerous an...

A Shape-Navigated Image Deformation Model for 4D Lung Respiratory Motion Estimation
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for cancers in the lung remains challenging due to the complicated respiratory dynamics. We propose a shape-navigated dense image defo...
