21. Radiation Therapy Patient Scheduling: An Operations Research Approach
Sammanfattning : The manual scheduling of patients for radiation therapy is difficult and labor-intensive. With the increase in cancer patient numbers, efficient resource planning is an important tool to achieve short waiting times and equal right to care. This thesis studies an operations research approach to the radiation therapy scheduling problem. LÄS MER
22. 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}).

23. Microdosimetric description of beam quality and biological effectiveness in radiation therapy
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
24. Biomarker discovery and assessment for prediction of kidney response after 177Lu-octreotate therapy
Sammanfattning : Patients suffering from neuroendocrine tumors are oftentimes presented with spread disease at the time of diagnosis. Therapy using somatostatin analogs is today the only potentially curative treatment option for these patients. LÄS MER
25. 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.
