– We will underestimate the maximum dose rate:
– We will use the lesser of the two maximum dose rates
– Elekta will take the Pinnacle generated plan from Mosaiq, and calculate a way to deliver it as fast as it can. – Because machines will have different dose rates, the VMAT plan delivered will be slightly different for each. – Uses continuously variable dose rate
