An algorithm for optimal multileaf collimator field segmentation with interleaf collision constraint 2 Kalinowski, Thomas (VerfasserIn) Text Text 2003 2003 eng electronic resourceremoteComputermedienOnline-Ressource1 Online-Ressource (10 Seiten) Multileaf collimators are widely used in radiotherapy to realize intensity modulated fields as superpositions of homogeneous fields, so called segments. One important step in the planning process is the decomposition of the modulated field into a small number of segments such that the total number of monitor units is also small. In this paper we present an algorithm that is based on the results of [6] and constructs a segmentation with minimal total number of monitor units and a small number of segments, taking into account a machine–dependent constraint, that forbids leaf overtravel in adjacent rows of the multileaf collimator.<eng> Open Access Urheberrechtsschutz 1.0 Thomas Kalinowski 510 https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005906 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00005906-8 doi: 10.18453/rosdok_id00005906 oclc: 1622065862 ppn: (DE-627)1987387872
