Cobalt-60 gamma rays and 4- and 10-MV x rays are compared for moving-strip therapy in terms of the dose uniformity and the given dose needed to deliver a prescribed tumor dose. Dose distributions in phantoms of 14--32-cm thickness were calculated for each therapy unit. Individual given doses which would deliver the most uniform dose along the midline of the treatment volume were determined by computer and were verified experimentally by thermoluminescent dosimetry. Using computer optimization techniques, the midplane dose uniformity is improved significantly for the three therapy units considered.
