The compact line-focus X-ray tube for microbeam radiation therapy — Focal spot characterisation and collimator design
During commissioning, the adapted focal spot visualisation methods will be used to determine the focal spot dimensions and to optimise machine parameters. The LFXT prototype will enable preclinical MRT with significantly higher dose rates than any other compact MRT source and will pave the way for the first clinical trials in a hospital setting.
