Description: The purpose of `Year/Phase IV (ongoing)` of this program is to extend the capability of proton beam treatment from applications (small- and medium-sized target volumes) to large, irregular target volumes. This task cannot be achieved without first developing sophisticated scanning beam technology capable of routine use in a hospital setting. B) To maximize the precision of ionization within large, irregularly shaped volumes, a spatially dynamic beam delivery system will developed that actively `paints` the proton beam throughout the target volume.
