Incorporating multi-leaf collimator leaf sequencing into iterative IMRT optimization.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning typically considers beam optimization and beam delivery as separate tasks. Following optimization, a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) or other beam delivery device is used to generate fluence patterns for patient treatment delivery. Due to limitations and characteristics of the MLC, the deliverable intensity distributions often differ f...
متن کاملNeutron beam characteristics from 50 MeV protons on beryllium using a continuously variable multi-leaf collimator.
The dose distributional properties of a p(50) Be neutron beam using a continuously variable multi-leaf collimator are presented and compared with a 6 MV photon beam. The differences in physical dose delivery between these two radiation modalities are generally insignificant for radiation therapy, and stringent comparisons of neutron and photon treatments should therefore be possible. The flexib...
متن کامل[Intensity-modulation radiotherapy using independent collimator: algorithm study].
To investigate algorithms for independent collimator (IC) to modulate beam intensity distributions. Field-setting sequences were determined for three clinical intensity distributions with two forward algorithms. The delivery order of all fields in the sequences was optimized in order to minimize the overall jaw-moving time. Suppose treatments were performed with Varian 600C, delivery time was c...
متن کاملLateral Penumbra Modelling Based Leaf End Shape Optimization for Multileaf Collimator in Radiotherapy
Lateral penumbra of multileaf collimator plays an important role in radiotherapy treatment planning. Growing evidence has revealed that, for a single-focused multileaf collimator, lateral penumbra width is leaf position dependent and largely attributed to the leaf end shape. In our study, an analytical method for leaf end induced lateral penumbra modelling is formulated using Tangent Secant The...
متن کاملReduction of the secondary neutron dose in passively scattered proton radiotherapy, using an optimized pre-collimator/collimator.
Proton radiotherapy represents a potential major advance in cancer therapy. Most current proton beams are spread out to cover the tumor using passive scattering and collimation, resulting in an extra whole-body high-energy neutron dose, primarily from proton interactions with the final collimator. There is considerable uncertainty as to the carcinogenic potential of low doses of high-energy neu...
