Abstract:
1. A computer system method of photon-based irradiation, the method comprising the steps of: identifying a target; convolving a first plurality of individual photon beams of radiation along preset three-dimensional trajectories to obtain one or more convolved beams; determining a plurality of kernels, wherein each of the one or more convolved beams includes a kernel; optimizing the plurality of kernels to obtain a dose kernel; calculating a dynamic trajectory of the dose kernel to irradiate the target; de-convolving the dose kernel along the dynamic trajectory into a second plurality of individual photon beams of radiation; moving a photon beam source along the dynamic trajectory; and applying to the target one or more individual photon beams of radiation of the second plurality to irradiate the target and increase dose falloff rate.
