— 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…

— Background
Currently, biopsies are the only definitive method to diagnose a brain tumor. While PET-CT is used for initial imaging and monitoring of the tumor, after completion of treatments, a 6-8-week delay is usually implemented to avoid false-positive results. Yet, the delay could also result in…
