Multileaf collimators (MLCs) are the prevailing tool for the realization of radiation
fields in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). One step in the treatment
planning is to determine a set of leaf positions realizing a certain intensity modulated
radiation field. In this paper we suggest two extensions in the use of the MLC that
lead to considerable savings in terms of monitor units, thus potentially increasing
the treatment quality. We test our method with random and with clinical sample matrices.
