An apparatus for engagement with a LINAC head of a LINAC machine, the LINAC machine generating radiation for intensity modulated radiation therapy of a cancer patient. The apparatus is a member incorporating separately a beam shaping material and a beam sculpting material The member typically includes a tray and the tray is designed to fit into or adjacent the head of a LINAC machine. When radiation passes through the tray mounted member, it will be modulated and shaped to conform to the tumor of the cancer patient, which patient is radiated by the modified radiation beam.

Cette invention concerne un appareil pouvant être introduit dans une tête daccélérateur linéaire dune machine daccélérateur linéaire, la machine daccélérateur linéaire générant des rayonnements pour une radiothérapie par modulation dintensité chez un patient atteint du cancer. Lappareil est un élément incorporant séparément un matériau de façonnage dun faisceau et un matériau de sculpture dun faisceau. Lélément contient généralement un plateau, ledit plateau étant conçu pour sajuster dans ou adjacent à la tête dune machine daccélérateur linéaire. Lorsque le rayonnement traverse lélément monté sur plateau, il est modulé et façonné pour se conformer à la tumeur du patient atteint du cancer, ledit patient étant irradié par le faisceau de rayonnement modifié.
