11-year workload and barrier analysis for a high-energy linear accelerator

11-year workload and barrier analysis for a high-energy linear accelerator

The formalism used for barriers calculations is based on a conservative estimation of workload, use factor, and occupancy factor. IMRT techniques (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) and VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy) are known for being superior to conventional techniques, but costly f...
