Narrative review details the evolution of inverse planning and multileaf collimators in oncology, highlighting the clinical transition to precision radiation delivery.

Key Points

To review the physical principles, historical development, and technical delivery methods of intensity-modulated radiation therapy over the past three decades.
Narrative synthesis of radiation oncology literature covering treatment planning and delivery techniques developed since 1982.
Technical analysis of inverse treatment planning algorithms and multileaf collimator mechanisms.
Traces the evolution from computed tomography-based three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy to modern inverse-planned intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
Identifies computer-controlled multileaf collimators and mathematical optimization as foundational technologies establishing intensity-modulated radiation therapy as standard cancer care.
