Commissioning of ADAC Pinnacle for IMRT utilizing solid compensators

Creator:: Brumley, Willis E.
Abstract:: Use of solid compensators is a very effective means of implementing IMRT on any linear accelerator. The standard practice has been IMRT delivery using accelerators equipped with multi-leaf collimators (MLC’s). Truth is the addition of MLC’s to an accelerator is quite expensive. Previous studies have shown solid compensators to have...
