DMLC motion tracking of moving targets for intensity modulated arc therapy treatment - a feasibility study

Purpose. Intensity modulated arc therapy offers great advantages with the capability of delivering a fast and highly conformal treatment. However, moving targets represent a major challenge. By monitoring a moving target it is possible to make the beam follow the motion, shaped by a Dynamic MLC (DML...
