The very newest RapidArc systems (Novalis and Varian) are IGRT systems and can (optionally) provide real-time CT guidance. Most high-end newer systems also have some form of ART (adaptive RT re-planning).
RapidArc is also an available software upgrade for some older systems with do not necessary have the same guidance capabilities
As I recall, your planned grays seem about appropriate. You can search the NCCN Guidelines to confirm this.
