also produced in order to calculate Monitor Units (the exposure time required to deliver the prescribed dose).

Figure 1: Treatment plan of the dog cadaver in the Eclipse TPS. A single 30mmx30mm field has been planned targeting the dog's forelimb. For treatment, the animal cadavers were re-positioned onto the LAPS, and an Australian Synchrotron in-house developed software (SMRT) was used to align the cadaver. Radiochromic film was used to verify the treatment delivery. Doses calculated in the Quality Assurance (QA) plans where verified using ionisation chamber measurements in liquid water and Solid Water phantoms. Results We irradiated the cadaver animals using the LAPS in Hutch 3B under image guidance, with successful patient alignment and treatment planning. Larger fields were delivered via a 'step-and-shoot' method and Radiochromic film was used to verify the delivery of the treatment field to the target.

Conclusion The treatment rooms at the Skandion Clinic have been modelled in a CAD software. The model can be used to accurately predict collisions and can increase the effectiveness of the dose-planning process.

Hutch 3B, located 140m away from the Synchrotron X-ray source, allows for a minimally-divergent beam and clinically comparable field-sizes, while maintaining dose rates of 100’s Gy/s in water. Veterinary interest in performing radiotherapy on domestic pets has facilitated recent preliminary studies into the applicability of using the robotic Large Animal Position System (LAPS) in Hutch 3B to delivery mock radiotherapy fields to animal cadavers. All stages of the treatment delivery were investigated including CT simulation, treatment planning, patient positioning, dose delivery, and dose verification. Material and Methods 2 Dog cadavers and 1 lamb cadaver, each provided by an Australian Synchrotron on-site veterinarian, were CT scanned at the Monash Biomedical Imaging facility. Care was taken to ensure that the animals were scanned in the position they would be in during treatment. A carbon fibre CT imaging board with fiducial markers was used for coarse alignment. For 1 of the 2 dog cadaver trials, air-vacuum bags were used to position the cadaver with the assistance of a veterinarian and a trained clinical radiation therapist. The CT scans of the cadaver animals were imported into the Eclipse Treatment Planning System (TPS) were SyncRT fields were planned for treatment. A Hybrid Monte Carlo dose algorithm was used to calculate the dose distributions through the patient CTs. Reference dosimetry plans were

Figure 2: Dog cadaver forelimb treatment. Radiochromic film shows the delivered radiation treatment field. Ionisation chamber measurements in liquid water and Solid Water showed good agreement (within 5%) with the QA plans. Conclusion We conclude SyncRT for live animal trials is achievable on the IMBL with our current software implementations, including image guidance and treatment planning. SyncRT fields can be delivered accurately, and with good dosimetric agreement to QA treatment planning calculations.
