Monitor Unit Calculation in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

Stanford Reference:

99-138

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple and efficient method for Monitor Unit ("MU") calculation for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Using the dose/MU and the transmission dose/MU of the contributing beamlets, the MU calculation for the treatment planning system is readily and efficiently obtained.

Applications

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

Advantages

Independent of leaf sequence algorithms and delivery machines
Rapid dose formulation for clinical use
