Zusammenfassung:Digital imaging and communications in a Medicine Radiation Therapy (DICOM RT) Cancer Patient Treatment Plan are converted into (i) multiple Treatment Field 2D Matrices; (ii) multiple IMRT Filter (Compensator) 3D Matrices; and (iii) 3D Computer Numerical Code (CNC) Files. From i, ii, and iii there is provided a set of (a) Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Filters; (b) IMRT Radiation Blocking Filters; and/or (c) IMRT Radiation Wound Protective Blocking Filters. The IMRT Radiation Blocking Filter can be used for each Cancer Patient's Treatment Field angle. The IMRT Radiation Wound Protective Blocking Filter can be used for each Cancer Patient's Surgical Incision. The foregoing filters can be used by a Radiation Oncology Hospital or Clinic to modulate a radiation dose or protect the surgical incision for a Cancer Patient for a specific radiation accelerator treatment machine.
