Multileaf collimator shape matrix decomposition
An important method in cancer treatment is the use of high energetic radiation. In order to kill tumor cells the patient is exposed to radiation that is delivered by a linear accelerator whose beam head can be rotated about the treatment couch. Inevitably the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor is also exposed to some radiation. So the problem arises to arrange the treatment in a way such that...
متن کاملHybrid Methods for the Multileaf Collimator Sequencing Problem
The multileaf collimator sequencing problem is an important component of the effective delivery of intensity modulated radiotherapy used in the treatment of cancer. The problem can be formulated as finding a decomposition of an integer matrix into a weighted sequence of binary matrices whose rows satisfy a consecutive ones property. In this paper we extend the state-of-the-art optimisation meth...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملAbstractID: 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...
