    Precise alignment of radiation therapy beams is crucial for treating adjacent tumors. A new device ensures accurate matching of multiple radiation fields, improving treatment delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Accurate geometric alignment of radiation beams is critical in radiotherapy, especially for contiguous tumor volumes treated with multiple fields.
    • Imprecise beam matching can lead to under-dosing or over-dosing of target tissues and organs at risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel beam alignment device designed for precise matching of adjacent or contiguous radiation treatment fields.
    • To enhance the accuracy and safety of radiation therapy delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a specialized beam alignment device.
    • Integration of the device into the radiation treatment workflow.
    • Verification of alignment precision using phantom studies and/or clinical data (details not provided in abstract).
