Delivery of intensity-modulated electron therapy by mechanical scanning: An algorithm study
PurposeIn principle, intensity-modulated electron therapy (IMET) can be delivered through mechanical scanning, with a robotic arm mounting a linac.Materials and methodsHere is a scanning algorithm to identify the back-and-forth, top-to-bottom (zigzag) pattern scan sequence. The algorithm includes ge...
