Abstract

In this paper, we study several rectilinear terrain construction problems, which model leaf sequencing problems in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). We present a novel unified approach based on geometric techniques for solving these terrain construction problems. Our approach leads to the first algorithms for several leaf sequencing problems in IMRT that are practically fast and guarantee the optimal quality of the output solutions. Our implementation results show that our terrain construction algorithms run very fast on real medical data.
