Small animal IMRT using 3D printed compensators

Preclinical radiation replicating clinical IMRT techniques can provide data translatable to clinical practice. For this work, treatment plans are created for oxygen-guided dose-painting in small animals utilizing inverse-planned IMRT. Spatially varying beam intensities were achieved using 3D-printed compensators.
