11. High Performance Computing for the Optimization of Radiation Therapy Treatment Plans
Sammanfattning : Radiation therapy is a clinical field in which computer simulations play a crucial role. Before patients undergo radiation therapy, an individual treatment plan for each patient needs to be created based on the specifics of their case (a process often referred to as \emph{treatment planning}).

12. Robust optimization of radiation therapy accounting for geometric uncertainty
Sammanfattning : Geometric errors may compromise the quality of radiation therapy treatments. Optimization methods that account for errors can reduce their effects.The first paper of this thesis introduces minimax optimization to account for systematic range and setup errors in intensity-modulated proton therapy.

13. 177Lu-DOTA-octreotate Radionuclide Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumours : Dosimetry-Based Therapy Planning and Outcome
Sammanfattning : Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy for the internal radiation of neuroendocrine tumours expressing somatostatin receptors has made great advances and offers promising results. 177Lu-DOTA-octreotate is one of the most widely used radiopeptides, but kidneys and bone marrow are organs at risk.

14. Probabilistic machine learning methods for automated radiation therapy treatment planning
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, different parts of an automated process for radiation therapy treatment planning are investigated from a mathematical and computational perspective. Whereas traditional inverse planning is labor-intensive, often comprising several reiterations between treatment planner and physician before a plan can be approved, much of recent research have been aimed at using a data-driven approach by learning from historically delivered plans.

15. Radioiodine Therapy of Hyperthyroidism - Simplified patient-specific absorbed dose planning
Sammanfattning : Radioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism is the most frequently performed radiopharmaceutical therapy. To calculate the activity of 131-I to be administered for giving a certain absorbed dose to the thyroid, the mass of the thyroid and the individual biokinetic data, normally in the form of uptake and biologic half-time, have to be determined.
