Optimized Non-Coplanar Radiation Delivery for Simpler, Faster, and Safer TreatmentsMutic, Sasa ; Zhang, Tiezhi
T-016307
— Existing LINACs inefficiently deliver non-coplanar beams The goal of radiation treatment is to precisely deliver a prescribed radiation dose to the targeted tissue, while avoiding dosing the surrounding normal tissues and organs. These treatments require radiation beams to be delivered from multipl…
