Using a simulated annealing algorithm, CIMO seeks to minimize differences between the optimized and sequenced intensity maps.
2
The CIMO algorithm was applied, and the optimized aperture shapes and weights were loaded back into Pinnacle.
3
On average, the CIMO algorithm provided a 54% reduction in the number of beam segments as compared with Pinnacle's leaf sequencer.
4
The plans sequenced using the CIMO algorithm also provided improved target dose uniformity and a reduced discrepancy between the optimized and sequenced intensity maps.
5
For ten clinical intensity maps, comparisons were performed between the CIMO algorithm and the power-of-two reduction algorithm of Xia and Verhey [Med.
