    FIGURE 1.

    Optimization based on normal-organ MTD (A; Eq. 1) and MTBED (B; Eqs. 6 or 8) constraints in AB vs. AZ plots. Blue line shows lung, red line shows liver, and green line shows kidney constraints. Lines are solid when they represent the activity-limiting constraint; dotted line constraints are automatically satisfied by solid line criteria.

    FIGURE 2.

    Illustration of tumor BED-based optimization (case 1). Tumor dose and BED are plotted as function of AB. Here, optimal AB (and AZ) values (ABopt, AZopt) are same as intersection values (ABint, AZint).

    FIGURE 3.

    Illustration of different cases. Case 3 (C and D) shows constraints and tumor BED for example where optimal dosing is not equal to intersection of MTD constraints. Case 4 (E and F) shows case for single limiting organ. Case 5 (G and H) illustrates case where all 3 organ constraints must be considered.
