Abstract
A new, simple method for adjustable field shaping for external-beam radiation therapy is described. The system employs shielding blocks attached to specially designed flanges and blocking tray. The system allows a wide latitude of placement of the blocks on the tray. The blocking system is cost-effective and allows rapid setup of treatment fields. It also allows daily blocking adjustment if required and has been shown to produce high-quality reproducible fields in clinical use.
