Using motion as a degree of freedom for dynamic MLC tracking can<br />
improve radiotherapy treatment for 4D anatomy.<br />
Specific <strong>and</strong> general solutions to the 4D treatment planning with<br />
dynamic MLC tracking problem have been investigated.<br />
4D treatment plans for dynamic MLC tracking result in leaf sequences<br />
as a function of monitor units <strong>and</strong> respiratory phases.<br />
4D optimization with dynamic MLC tracking can generate a better 4D<br />
treatment plan than the sum of individually optimized phase plans.<br />
4D treatment plans can be delivered with current delivery technology,<br />
while accounting for variable target motion during delivery.
