Tomotherapy, literally “slice therapy,” is a proposal for the delivery of radiation therapy with
intensity‐modulated strips of radiation. The proposed method employs a linear accelerator,
or another radiation‐emitting device, which would be mounted on a ring gantry like a CT
scanner. The patient would move through the bore of the gantry simultaneously with gantry
rotation. The intensity modulation would be performed by temporally modulated multiple
independent leaves that open and close across the slit opening. At any given time, any leaf …
