View from the top of a prototype Dynamic Beam Collimator that was designed, engineered, and built at the University of Iowa. This device is designed to "trim" the proton beam to provide better accuracy when treating proton therapy cancer patients. Our subject, Daniel Hyer, is a faculty member of the Departments of Radiation Oncology and Biomedical Engineering and led the team of engineers, medical physicists, programmers, and machinists who completed the prototype.
