Tumor tracking: DMLC
•
Advantages
:
Ø
Using the available dynamic MLC mode for tumor pursuit
Ø
Use of full field size
Ø
Little compromises for other classic treatments
•
Drawbacks
:
Ø
Only useable with a flattened beam, what with FFF?
Ø
Tracking and DMLC intensity modulation are coupled: coupled constraints
and increased complexity with higher modulation and higher velocities
Ø
Tracking perpendicular to MLC leaf tracks?
Static
Not-tracked
Tracked
MLC
