Abstract
Systems and methods for HDR brachytherapy planning can include obtaining patient specific data of a patient, and determining, using the patient specific data, an optimization problem to solve for a single-fraction HDR monotherapy plan including an objective function to be optimized subject to one or more first constraints on radiation doses within one or more OAR regions and a second constraint on radiation doses within the PTV. The systems and methods can include optimizing the objective function subject to the one or more first constraints and the second constraint, determining whether the first single-fraction HDR monotherapy plan satisfies the first and second constraints, updating a bound value of the second constraint based on whether the first single-fraction HDR monotherapy plan satisfies the first and second constraints, and optimizing the objective function subject to the one or more first constraints and the second constraint with the updated bound value.
