  • System and Method for Temporally Precise Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (Imrt)
    Publication number: 20080049897
    Abstract: Radiation therapy or diagnostic that will ultimately be delivered in a manner that, in addition to being spatially precise, is capable of adapting instantaneously to changes in patient or subject anatomy. The related system and method can adapt to the time dependent geometry of internal patient anatomy and yield a temporally precise IMRT beam that is optimized for the instantaneous configuration of the internal target and avoidance structures.
