N2 - This study employs particle swarm optimization to solve the non-convex inverse problem of 4D stereotactic body radiation therapy planning, targeting toxicity reduction, for a right lower lobe lung tumor with motion range of 1.5cm. A novel approach is introduced to reduce the swarm search space. 90 aperture-weights are optimized using both conventional and improved PSO algorithms over 5 optimization runs per method. It is shown that, on average, the improved PSO-based plan reduces the maximum dose to heart, spinal cord and esophagus by 43%, as compared to the conventional PSO, while swarm population is cut to half.
