 |
- Beams move in real-time with 3D target motion
- Dose delivered continuously throughout the breathing cycle
|
- Limited system mobility requires the beam to repeatedly turn on and off as the target moves through fixed cross-hairs.
|
- Delivers high doses of radiation to the entire envelope of target motion – encompassing both healthy and cancerous tissues
