I will love to take a look at the code of the program running that fantastic machine.

so basically it is a way to direct the x rays in a way that hits the cancer in a three dimensions area reducing the amount of unwanted arias.
So less healthy flesh will be affected with the x rays.
And as well a three dimensional summary are produced to summarize the phases of the treatment.
nice.........

@LogInForPaper - there is a related video which is about becoming a medical physicist. As for what type of work they do, it depends on the speciality - you might want to check out the IPEM website if you are UK based - ipem dot ac dot uk
