A duality based algorithm for multileaf collimator field segmentation with interleaf collision constraint

Intensity maps are nonnegative matrices describing the intensity modulation of beams in radiotherapy.An important step in the planning process is to determine a segmentation, that is a representation of an intensity map as a positive combination of special matrices corresponding to fixed positions of the multileaf collimator, called segments. We consider the problem of constructing segmentation...

A new algorithm for optimal multileaf collimator field segmentation

We present a new efficient leaf sequencing algorithm for the generation of intensity maps by a nonnegative combination of segments. Intensity maps describe the intensity modulation of beams in radiotherapy. We only study the static case (stop and shoot) an optimize the total number of monitor units and the number of segments. We will present a short exact proof for a formula giving the smallest...

Approximated MLC shape matrix decomposition with interleaf collision constraint

Shape matrix decomposition is a subproblem in radiation therapy planning. A given fluence matrix A has to be decomposed into a sum of shape matrices corresponding to homogeneous fields that can be shaped by a multileaf collimator (MLC). We solve the problem of minimizing the delivery time for an approximation of A satisfying certain prescribed bounds, under the additional condition that the use...

Using multileaf collimator interleaf leakage to extract absolute spatial information from electronic portal imaging device images

Electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are potentially valuable tools for linear accelerator quality assurance and for measuring and analyzing geometric variations in radiation treatment delivery. Geometric analysis is more robust if referenced against an absolute position such as the isocenter (collimator axis of rotation), allowing the observer to discriminate between various setup errors ...

AbstractID: 7461 Title: Multileaf Collimator (MLC) for Field Matching

ID: 7461 Title: Multileaf Collimator (MLC) for Field Matching Photon field matching at the beam isocenter using independent jaws is the method of choice in many radiation treatments that require abutted fields. This study evaluated the suitability of using Multileaf Collimator (MLC) for such matching. The study employed a treatment planning system to model the field matching and the modeling wa...
