Subproject 4: Comparison of treatment strategies in an in-silico planning study

This subproject aims at comparing the quality of treatment plans of the different treatment machines used at the participating centers. For each patient treated at one participating center, additional treatment plans for the other treatment devices will be generated. The resulting dose distributions from the different treatment plans will be compared in terms of target coverage and dose conformity to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the different treatment strategies on the quality of treatment plans. Start will be in autumn 2024.
