Design, Simulation and Manufacture of a Multileaf Collimator to Confirm the Target Volumes in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is one of the cancer treatment methods. It is important to selectively aim at the target in this way, which can be performed using a multileaf collimator (MLC). Materials and Methods: In order to specifically irradiate the target volume in radiotherapy to reduce the patient absorbed dose, the use of multileaf collimator has been investi...
متن کاملOptimal Sequencing of Dynamic Multileaf Collimators
Dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC)-intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is used to delivery intensity-modulated beams using an MLC, with the leaves in motion. DMLC-IMRT requires the conversion of a radiation fluence map into a leaf sequence file that controls the movement of the MLC while the beam is on. It is imperative that the fluence map delivered using the leaf sequence file be as...

Cancer is one of the major causes of death all over the globe and radiotherapy is considered one of its most effective treatment methods. Designing a radiotherapy treatment plan was done entirely manually in the past. RecentlyIntensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) was introduced as a new technology with advanced medical equipmentin the recent years. IMRT provides the opportunity to delive...
متن کاملPhysical and dosimetric aspects of a multileaf collimation system used in the dynamic mode for implementing intensity modulated radiotherapy.
The use of a multileaf collimator in the dynamic mode to perform intensity modulated radiotherapy became a reality at our institution in 1995. Unlike treatment with static fields using a multileaf collimator, there are significant dosimetric issues which must be assessed before dynamic therapy can be implemented. We have performed a series of calculations and measurements to quantify head scatt...
