Method for calculating head scatter phase space for radiation treatment using a multi-leaf collimator with dynamic jaws
Abstract:
A method is proposed for accurate and efficient modeling of head scatter phase space for treatments with dynamic jaws. Specifically, the method enables the efficient calculation of the head scatter phase space in case of a dynamic treatment where jaws and MLC leaves move during the delivery. In one embodiment, the invention can be used to calculate the head scatter contribution during final dose calculation of dynamic treatments. This novel method also enables an accurate calculation of the head scatter contribution from optimal fluence and from jaw positions without having to calculate the leaf sequence. In this embodiment, the invention can be used in optimization of large field IMRT treatments.
