Reducing the number of monitor units in multileaf collimator field segmentation Kalinowski, Thomas , 1980- (VerfasserIn) Text Text 2004 2004 eng electronic resourceremoteComputermedienOnline-Ressource1 Online-Ressource (20 Seiten) Multileaf collimators (MLCs) are the prevailing tool for the realization of radiation fields in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). One step in the treatment planning is to determine a set of leaf positions realizing a certain intensity modulated radiation field. In this paper we suggest two extensions in the use of the MLC that lead to considerable savings in terms of monitor units, thus potentially increasing the treatment quality. We test our method with random and with clinical sample matrices.<eng> Open Access Urheberrechtsschutz 1.0 Thomas Kalinowski 510 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005902 Reducing the number of monitor units in multileaf collimator field segmentation--(DE-627)468507280 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005902-1 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00005902 oclc: 1621961111 ppn: (DE-627)1987272293
