Abstract
A radiotherapy apparatus is described. The radiotherapy apparatus comprises a radiation source, a beam shaping apparatus, a beam receiving apparatus, and a controller configured to control the beam shaping apparatus. The radiation source is configured to deliver radiation in each of a coplanar configuration and at least one non-coplanar configuration. The beam shaping apparatus is configured to direct the radiation produced by the radiation source towards the beam receiving apparatus in each of the coplanar configuration and the at least one non-coplanar configuration. The controller is configured to control the beam shaping apparatus to apply a limit on a field of radiation produced by the radiation source based on whether the radiation source is configured in the coplanar configuration or the at least one non-coplanar configuration.
