Summary
A technique to create an IMAT plan that replicates Tomotherapy deliveries by applying IMAT specific segmentation and leaf-sequencing algorithms to Tomotherapy output sinograms is illustrated and two alternative segmentation techniques are proposed, a clustering method, and a bottom-up segmentation method (BUS).
