Compensator-Based IMRT is an advanced method for delivering IMRT. Compensators are solid metal, usually brass or aluminum, and are milled to the patients’ tumor size and shape.
Each patient will have their own set of compensators, making each one completely unique. The compensators are attached individually to the linear accelerator. As the radiation beam passes through the compensator, it is shaped in a way that provides the maximum dose to the tumor and maximum protection to the surrounding healthy areas. Compensators can more accurately spare healthy tissues and organs from unnecessary radiation, reducing the risk of acute and chronic damage.
