Abstract: In intensity-modulated radiation therapy the aim is to realize given intensity distributions as a superposition of differently shaped fields. Multileaf collimators are used for field shaping. This segmentation task leads to discrete optimization problems, that are considered in this dissertation. A variety of algorithms for exact and approximated segmentation, for different objective functions and various technical as well as dosimetric constraints are developed.
