Abstract

See full text

A method of delivering a radiation therapy treatment plan to a treatment area of a patient. The treatment plan is delivered using a radiation therapy system including a moveable support for supporting a patient, and a gantry moveable relative to the support. The gantry supports a radiation source, a set of jaws having a jaw width and a multi-leaf collimator for modulating the radiation during delivery of the treatment plan. The support is moved during delivery of the treatment plan to the treatment area, and the width of the jaws is dynamically adjusted during delivery of the treatment plan to the treatment area.
