摘要: Abstract A new, linear accelerator based radiosurgical system has been designed and tested. It incorporates a mechanical of precision bearings to control all patient movements. The dosimetry allows near real-time examination the isodose distributions in any computed tomography plane such that treatment plan can be quickly optimized. Extensive testing shows radiation beam accuracy .2 ± .1 mm. dose gradient between 90% 10% compares favorably with previously published method
