Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for supplying a field of ionizing radiation to a target tissue including: providing an ionizing radiation; forming at least two fields of shifted and compensated ionizing radiation by: shifting the range of the ionizing radiation by passing the ionizing radiation through an adjustable range shifter, so that the Bragg peak of the ionizing radiation coincides with the target tissue; compensating the range of the ionizing radiation by passing the ionizing radiation through an adjustable range compensator, so that the Bragg peak of the ionizing radiation coincides with the target tissue; and directing to the target tissue at least two fields of the shifted and compensated ionizing radiation to provide a uniform dose distribution across a target volume. L'invention concerne également des procédés de traitement du cancer.
