We offer the following Master Thesis project:
"Radiation therapy optimization for patients in an upright position"'
Treatment planning for radiation therapy represents a large-scale mathematical optimization problem where tens of thousands of parameters for the treatment machine must be determined. The purpose of this master thesis project is to extend such optimization to upright radiation therapy where the patient is seated on a rotating chair. Such treatments are emerging as an alternative to the current paradigm of irradiating cancer patients in lying position on a treatment couch. Upright treatments have several potential advantages, including advantageous changes in the volume and location of healthy organs, improved motion management, mechanical advantages due to the use of a stationary treatment machine, and efficiency improvements.
The goal of the thesis project is to develop treatment planning methods that take maximum benefit of the unique characteristics of upright treatments and then assess the quality of such treatments compared to the current clinical standard. The project will involve nonlinear and possibly combinatorial optimization, coordinate system handling, implementation in C++ and C#, and evaluation by retrospective planning on clinical patient cases.
