The efficient delivery with existing linac and MLC makes IMAT a practical choice.
2
Mechanical precision is superior for the gamma knife as compared with the linac.
3
The linac allows flexible, ready access to individualized beam control, without intrinsic field size limitations.
4
Treatment planning for the linac is not standardized, but existing systems are based on well-known algorithms.
5
Fixed-field intensity-modulated treatments, delivered by conventional linac-plus-multileaf systems, have rapidly become the most common form of IMRT.
6
In this study, we evaluated the performance of an Elekta linac in the delivery of gated radiotherapy.
7
In this study, we have characterized the efficiency of an Elekta linac in the delivery of gated radiotherapy.
8
The other 85 were planned on the Pinnacle TPS with the CCC algorithm and treated on a Varian linac.
9
On the other hand, equally excellent clinical results are obtained for small lesions with photon beams-thegamma knife and the linac.
10
This is especially important in the newly proposed methodologies of MR-only simulation in RT and in adaptive replanning in MR linac systems.
11
Since the linac could only focus its killer beam on local sites, it would have to be a local, not a systemic, cancer.
12
The photoneutron dose equivalent in a linac radiotherapy room and its entrance maze was investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations under different conditions.
13
We then developed a prototype instrument incorporating that air-gap and, for a 6 MV linac, tested it experimentally against EBT3 film.
14
IMAT treatment delivery was accomplished by programming the linear accelerator (linac) to deliver an arc and the MLC to step through a sequence of fields.
15
Recently, linacs with an integrated magnetic resonance image-guidance system have become clinically available.
16
Four different TPS and six different LINACS were used.
