These techniques will make determination of the final leaf settings very straightforward. Additionally, beam data sets have been verified for the clinical range of field sizes and energies.

This project clearly demonstrates that intensity modulated electron arc radiotherapy is feasible using the photon multi-leaf collimator of a modern linear accelerator. Secondary and tertiary collimators are replaced by the multi-leaf collimator and by dynamic field edge enhancement. Three-dimensional dose calculation models are required in order to properly account for changing patient shape both axially and in the cephalo-caudal direction. Both Monte Carlo and 3-dimensional pencil beam algorithms have been examined. Comparison of electron arc therapy dose distributions vs. standard photon tangent breast fields show that a more uniform dose distribution is achievable by dynamic electron arc, match-line inhomogeneities can be minimized or avoided, and dose to lung and critical organs can be reduced. Particular advantage is noted in treatment plans for bilateral post-mastectomy breast treatment. Continuing issues include 1)calculation throughput, even with up to 32 processors calculating in parallel, 2)implementation in a clinical mode readily available to radiotherapy clinics,3)automation of dynamic field edge enhancement. Further discussion with the radiotherapy vendors will be required.
