Abstract

to utilize PET emission data to guide radiotherapy delivery in real-time to multiple targets. The system combines a compact 6MV linear accelerator and binary multileaf collimator with PET, CT and MV imaging systems all on a ring gantry that rotates continuously at 60 RPM while the patient is translated through the system bore. Here we investigate the feasibility and dosimetric benefits of a prototype TPS for BgRT using a single isocenter technique for oligo-metastases patients treated with
