[Testing of dynamic multileaf collimator by dynamic log file].
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) represents one of the most significant technical advances in radiation therapy. In the dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) method of IMRT delivery, because of the relatively small gaps between opposed leaves and because most regions are shielded by leaves most of the time, the delivered dose is very sensitive to MLC leaf positional accuracy. A variati...
متن کاملDevelopment and performance evaluation of a high‐speed multileaf collimator
Multileaf collimator (MLC) tracking represents a promising technique for motion management in radiotherapy. However, the conflict between limited leaf speed/acceleration and the demand for tracking fast target motion is now a prominent issue. Conventional MLCs typically have a maximum leaf speed of 3-4 cm/s and a maximum leaf acceleration of 50-70 cm/s2, which are inadequate to track fast targe...
متن کاملMultileaf 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 کاملthe role of application of dynamic assessment approach in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels
the present study sought to investigate the role of dynamic assessment (da) in improvement of iranian efl writing performance at different language proficiency levels. to this end, after conducting the quick placement test, 60 iranian efl learners were assigned to two groups with different language proficiency levels. in both groups each participant wrote two compositions, one before and one af...
Comparison of multileaf collimator and conventional circular collimator systems in Cyberknife stereotactic radiotherapy
Multileaf collimator (MLC) technology has been newly introduced with the Cyberknife system. This study investigated the advantages of this system compared with the conventional circular collimator (CC) system. Dosimetric comparisons of MLC and CC plans were carried out. First, to investigate suitable target sizes for the MLC mode, MLC and CC plans were generated using computed tomography (CT) i...
