    Abstract : In this project we introduced a spatial frequency-based objective function for optimization of dose distributions used in spatially fractionated radiotherapy (also known as grid therapy). Several studies indicate that tissues can tolerate larger mean doses of radiation if the dose is delivered heterogeneously or to a partial volume of the organ. READ MORE
