Abstract
Radiation therapy is an effective cancer treatment solution, involving complex machinery and careful planning. Physicians find difficulty in visualizing the relative three-dimensional positions of linac (linear accelerator) components. We propose a graphical simulator for linacs that will improve the planning process, saving time and resources in generating the optimal treatment plan, and serve as a learning tool. Embedding patient-specific data (CT scans) in the interactive simulator advances the radiation therapy planning process by early detection of collision cases.
