Abstract
The purpose of this Chap. is to provide an experimental verification of the approach as well as to give a technical summary of the various aspects involved in the practical implementation of beam intensity modulation via patient specific compensators. By drawing on the RTP optimisation techniques presented in the previous Chap., the remaining practical procedures involved in the determination of optimal intensity modulated beams (IMBs), and hence compensator profiles, a fully integrated RTP procedure is demonstrated. It is the culmination and the combination of all these techniques that has made possible the prediction, optimisation and, for the first time in the UK, the verification and realisation of conformal radiotherapy with in field intensity modulation on a demanding, yet realistic test case.
