DELIVERING INDEPENDENT 2D SUB-BEAM INTENSITY PATTERNS FROM MOVING RADIATION SOURCE

Abstract:

A radiation delivery system and method of operation are described. The method includes modulating a sub-beam intensity of a radiation beam generated by a radiation source across a plurality of sub-beams that subdivide a fluence field into a two-dimensional (2D) grid, and delivering a plurality of independent two-dimensional (2D) sub-beam intensity patterns from a plurality of angles while the radiation source is moved continuously.
