2140432 9500204 PCTABS00035 A radiation therapy apparatus, for a radiation therapy machine providing an irradiation of a tumor at 360· about the tumor within a plane, determines a distribution of charges in a conductor that would produce a potential energy field matching the desired dose to the tumor in the plane. The fluence of any given ray through the tumor may be determined by summing the charges along the ray's path. The distribution may include areas of no irradiation which may require negative fluences. Physically realizable non-negative fluences are obtained by an iterative process of adjusting an input dose map in light of the actual dose produced by the calculated fluences.

Un appareil radiothérapeutique destiné à un équipement radiothérapeutique pouvant faire subir à une tumeur un rayonnement de 360 DEG entourant ladite tumeur, dans un plan, détermine une répartition des charges dans un conducteur qui produirait un champ d'énergie potentiel correspondant à la dose désirée appliquée sur la tumeur se trouvant dans le plan. La fluence de n'importe quel rayon donné à travers la tumeur peut être déterminée par totalisation des charges le long du trajet du rayon. La répartition peut comporter des zones de non irradiation qui peuvent nécessiter des fluences négatives. On obtient des fluences non négatives, réalisables physiquement, par un procédé itératif de réglage d'une carte de dosage d'entrée, en fonction de la dose réelle produite par les fluences calculées.
