title: Two-dimensional kinetic models for radiotherapy planning quality assurance.
abstract: For treatment planning, the visualization of the direction and orientation of a beam, specified by a set of machine angles, can sometimes be very difficult. A set of simple two-dimensional kinetic models has been prepared. These show the angular and field conventions of the local linear accelerators.
