摘要
A method and associated system 300 for delivering intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses variable feathering field splitting for intensity modulated fields of large size. A processor controls a beam-shaping device that splits the radiation beam into a plurality of radiation fields delivered to a patient. The processor in cooperation with the beam-shaping device implements a variable feathering method which includes providing an intensity matrix for the treatment of a patient, the intensity matrix having a plurality of rows and columns for spanning a prescribed radiation field including a prescribed field width. The prescribed width is compared to a maximum field width provided by the radiation treatment system. The intensity matrix is split into a plurality of spatially overlapping intensity submatrices by variably feathering the intensity matrix when the prescribed width exceeds the maximum field width, Radiotherapy is then provided to the patient using a leaf sequencing method to generate the submatrices.
