A robotic treatment delivery system to facilitate dynamic conformal synchrotron radiotherapy
We have implemented the first robotic treatment delivery system for synchrotron radiotherapy treatments. The largest errors were observed in the direction of motion of the patient through the beam and with future improvements, can be reduced. The system was both accurate and repeatable and is ready to support future treatments on IMBL.
