Comparison between manual and automatic segment generation in step-and-shoot IMRT of prostate cancer

Purpose: To compare two methods to generate treatment plans for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer, delivered in a step-and-shoot mode. The first method uses fluence optimization (inverse planning) followed by conversion of the fluence weight map into a limited number of segm...
