Description

Full text: A stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) system for small lung tumors Uses different cylindrical collimators depending in the size of the tumor. One important criteria of SRT is that the dose distribution conforms to the target shape and falls-off I rapidly outside the target volume. The choice of energy may be important for small lung (tumours as it is likely the dose distribution will vary with energy due to differences in :ral electronic disequilibrium.
