Systems and methods of controlling the leaves of an aperture in radiation
treatment are disclosed. In some embodiments, these systems and methods
allow the delivery of different radiation fluences to different parts of
a treatment volume in a single rotation of the aperture around the
treatment volume. In some embodiments, different radiation fluences are
achieved by radiating different parts of the treatment volume from
opposing positions of the aperture around the treatment volume. In some
embodiments, different radiation fluences are achieved by assigning
different leaf pairs to radiate different parts of the treatment volume.
