Case Technical Discussion
Explanation and rationale for how the design of the technology utilised was appropriate for treating each case (to consider localisation method, treatment delivery and methods of verification).
Critique of alternative equipment/ features that could also have been utilised for each case, to include discussion of the technical design factors that would make have made it a suitable alternative
(Ideally using alternative teletherapy equipment such as Tomotherapy TM, Cyber Knife TM and alternative modalities), although brachytherapy is accepted with suitable underpinning evidence.
The discussion should not be technique based (although may include some elements of this), but should focus on the technology and design of each piece of equipment utilised within the case pathway, as well as alternatives and the disadvantages and advantages of each.
The discussion should be of a highly technical and evaluative nature, and should be supported by a wide range of current references, to include peer reviewed journals and clinical trial materials to support your discussion.
Discussion
The discussion is an academic piece of writing that demonstrates a critical theoretical evaluation of equipment design and its application to radiotherapy delivery and verification.
This should also include applied discussion of alternative equipment or features not utilised for your original cases. This must be written in the 3rd person and referenced appropriately (current sources of information including journal articles, recent clinical trials should be utilised).
The discussion should include the under pinning theory for key aspects of the machine design (e.g. method(s) of imaging for localisation and planning, beam generation, modulation and shaping, technical aspects of verification methods etc.).
This assignment will meet the following module learning outcomes:
1. Critically appraise equipment design and function encountered in current radiotherapy practice and their clinical applications.
2. Appraise the applications of imaging modalities within current radiotherapy practice, and demonstrate understanding of the rationale for use of each.
3. Evaluate the integration and use of current MV and kV imaging equipment in relation to radiotherapy verification and treatment accuracy.

Problem regarding the isomorphism
: The kernel of this homomorphism is the principal ideal (x-1). Therefore, Z[x]/(x-1) is isomorphic to Z. According to the correspondence theorem, ideals of Z[x]/(x-1) are in one-to-one correspondence with ideals of Z[x] containing (x-1). Taking int..
