CREATING A COMPENSATOR FROM SOLID PARTICULATES

摘要

A patient-specific compensator is created from solid particulates on-site at a radiation treatment facility and then used there at that facility in conjunction with a radiation therapy machine to deliver radiation therapy to a cancer patient. After use, the compensator can be broken down into loose solid particulates at the facility, and another compensator can be created on-site at the facility from those particulates and used in the radiation treatment of a different cancer patient at the facility.
