Abstract
A three-dimensional irradiation system using scatterers for lateral spreading is proposed. This system, which is applicable to proton beams, is easily achieved by ordinary techniques using a movable multileaf collimator, a variable thickness water column, and a computer for their control. Target volumes of convex shape can be irradiated in a three-dimensional way by this method.Keywords
