- In brain tumor radiation treatment the laser is rotated to achieve focal
- points of high energy with other tissue relatively undisturbed. Of course,
- if you are try to achieve arbitrary precision at all points, one has quite
- a puzzle, probably one with no solution. But some sort of optimal strategy
- of the beams could be found (this is already an area of research for tumor
- therapy)
