To demonstrate a novel method of quantifying respiratory gating beam-on and beam-off latency for Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators and assess the impact of dose rate and machine-specific factors on overall timing performance.

To overcome barriers in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) research caused by reliance on proprietary optimization solvers (e.g., CPLEX) and fragmented software environments. We present the integration of a voxel down-sampling and fluence map optimi...
