public OptimizerResult Optimize(OptimizationOptionsIMRT options)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
OptimizationOptionsIMRT	options	Options specifying initial state, intermediate dose, and termination upon convergence.

Returns

Type	Description
OptimizerResult	Result of the optimization.

OptimizeVMAT()

public OptimizerResult OptimizeVMAT(string mlcId)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	mlcId	The identifier for the Multileaf Collimator (MLC).

Returns

Type	Description
OptimizerResult	The result of the optimization.
