Abstract
A method for reconstructing an intensity map from segments includes importing a set of segments defining an intensity modulated radiation treatment and analyzing the segments to determine intensity map geometry. The method further includes calculating radiation contributions for cells within the segments and creating a reconstructed intensity map.
Claims17
A method for reconstructing an intensity map from segments, the method comprising:
- importing a set of segments;
- analyzing the segments to determine intensity map geometry;
- calculating radiation contributions for cells within the segments;
- and
- creating a reconstructed intensity map.
A system for reconstructing an intensity map from segments, the system comprising a processor configured to import a set of segments and operable to analyze the segments to determine intensity map geometry, calculate radiation contributions for each cell in each of the segments, and create a reconstructed intensity map;
- and memory operable to at least temporarily store the segments.
