In treatment of cancer using high energetic radiation the problem arises how to irradiate the tumor without damaging the healthy tissue in the immediate vicinity. In order to do this, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is used. In this thesis, the general goal is to modulate the homogeneou...
