Quality assurance devices for dynamic conformal radiotherapy [PDF]
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2004 Two quality control devices, a light‐field device and a radiation‐field device, have been specially designed to assist the clinical implementation of conformal dynamic arc treatment (CDAT) and intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). With these devices, the light field as well as the radiation field projected from the individual beams at any ...

A high-precision system for conformal intracranial radiotherapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2000 Currently, optimally precise delivery of intracranial radiotherapy is possible with stereotactic radiosurgery and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy. We report on an optimally precise optically guided system for three-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy using multiple noncoplanar fixed fields.The optically guided system detects infrared light ...
