title: Dynamic beam shaping.
abstract: Computer control of independent collimator jaw positions and dose is combined with multiple-field summation techniques to design optimized radiation field profiles. Clinically relevant examples are shown for dynamic wedges and compensated mantle fields. Calculation, measurement, and verification techniques are discussed.
