Why did we end up with IMRT?

No technology, however fancy, will

change that.

We are therefore left with modulating

particles fluence in the cross

plane, hence IMRT.

What we were calling ‘3D conformal

RT’ was often not that conformal.

With photons, achieving dose

modulation with the falloff along the

beam direction is hopeless
