Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods for radiotherapy treatment plan optimization for irradiating one or more target regions using both an internal therapeutic radiation source (ITRS) and an external therapeutic radiation source (ETRS). One variation of a method comprises iterating through ITRS radiation dose values and ETRS radiation dose values to attain a cumulative dose that meets prescribed dose requirements. In some variations, an ITRS is an injectable compound that has a targeting backbone and a radionuclide, and images acquired using an imaging compound that has the same targeting backbone as the injectable compound can be used to calculate the radiation dose deliverable using the injectable ITRS, and also to calculate firing filters for delivering radiation using a biologically-guided radiation therapy (BGRT) system. Image data acquired from a previous treatment session may be used to adapt the dose provided by an ITRS and/or ETRS for a future treatment session.
