How beams are delivered in arcs

Last week, the Beacon hospital became the first hospital in Ireland or the UK and only the 5th in Europe, to treat a patient using Varian's new RapidArc Dynamic technology. It is an advancement in radiotherapy technology for cancer care that improves precision, reduces treatment time, and lowers radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
