Abstract: Abstract A beam delivery system for large uniform dose fields suitable for cancer radiotherapy has been constructed for the TRIUMF pion treatment facility using discrete step beam scanning in three dimensions. The patient on a couch is scanned laterally relative to a pencil beam in a raster fashion. At each spot, the depth dose profile is delivered by range modulations using a range shifter. The operations of the scanning couch and range shifter are synchronized by the use of beam monitor pulses from a beam intensity integrating system. The system is hence versatile enough to handle treatment volume of highly irregular shape and yet is immune to fluctuations in accelerator output.
