The rationale for an iris collimator that allows the field size to be varied during treatment delivery is to enable the benefits of multiple-field-size treatments to be realized with no increase in treatment time due to collimator exchange or multiple traversals of the robotic manipulator by allowing each beam to be delivered with any desired field size during a single traversal," scientists in the United States report (see also Surgery).

"This paper describes the Iris™ variable aperture collimator (Accuray Incorporated, ...
