+ dynamic conformal arc
+ using the projection of target volumes / organs at risk to the beam
apertures (e.g. Elekta ERGO++)
+ translating a fluence profile into sliding-window segments and
arranging them on an arc (Philips Pinnacle SmartArc, Elekta Monaco)
+ an iterative angular resolution refinement, starting from beam shapes
at large angular intervals and interpolating them (Varian RapidArc)
