  • Abstract
    A system for measuring delivered dose and dose distributions has been developed for use with the wobbler beam delivery system. The system allows rapid termination of an irradiation when hardware of software monitors indicate the required dose has been delivered. In addition several safeguard systems are required by such an active system in event of a failure of the wobbler, associated electronic hardware or the computer. Computer graphic displays allow operator monitoring of the irradiation on a pulse by pulse basis.
