Description
The treatment parameters necessary for the isocentric treatment of an inclined volume have to be determined either analytically or through simulation. The derivation of the treatment parameters for the treatment of a transverse plane has been described previously. This work describes the derivation of the treatment parameters necessary for the isocentric treatment of an inclined volume that has been planned from an angled coronal section. Ways of implementing the system in the clinic are described. (author)
