Abstract
A compensator made of a tungsten-based rod matrix has been proposed for small-field intensity modulated radiation therapy. The compensator was attached to a 6 MV linac gantry head. The proposed compensator could modulate the X-ray intensity with a step of 10% and a minimum transmission of 2.5%.
