For accurate three‐dimensional treatment planning, new models of dose calculations are
being developed which require the knowledge of the energy spectra and angular distributions …

The use of a multileaf collimator in the dynamic mode to perform intensity modulated
radiotherapy became a reality at our institution in 1995. Unlike treatment with static fields using a …

Purpose: Many patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receive external beam
radiation therapy as part of their treatment. Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (…

An inverse planning algorithm for determining the intensity‐modulated beams that will most
closely generate a desired dose distribution is presented. The algorithm is three‐…

Conclusions: We have placed into clinical use an integrated system of conformal radiation
treatment that incorporated the inverse method of treatment design and the use of dynamic …

Purpose: To implement intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for primary nasopharynx
cancer and to compare this technique with conventional treatment methods. Methods and …

An algorithm, which calculates the motions of the collimator jaws required to generate a
given arbitrary intensity profile, is presented. The intensity profile is assumed to be piecewise …

Purpose To improve the local control of patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate we have
implemented intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to deliver a prescribed dose of …

The delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using dynamic multileaf
collimation (DMLC) accounts for about 40% of all treatments on eight multileaf collimator (MLC)‐…

Current understanding of higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) is based primarily on
crystalline materials. Here, we propose that HOTIs can be realized in quasicrystals. …
