The results of inverse dosimetric planning of intensity-modulated photon radiation therapy are presented. Physical and biological weight functions were used to optimize the dose distribution. Irradiation plans based on biological optimization functions were shown to have advantages over plans based on physical optimization for achieving the goal of radiation therapy, as well as reducing radiation exposure and the time required to calculate the dose distribution.
