monte carlo simulation of varian clinac 2100c electron beams
background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the application of the monte carlo technique to calculate and analysis of dosimetric parameters for electron beams used in radiotherapy. this technique is based on statistical method and has a powerful role in different radiotherapy aspects. materials and methods: the simulated medical linear accelerator was the varian clinac 2100c. the e...
متن کاملRadiation leakage dose from Elekta electron collimation system
This study provided baseline data required for a greater project, whose objective was to design a new Elekta electron collimation system having significantly lighter electron applicators with equally low out-of field leakage dose. Specifically, off-axis dose profiles for the electron collimation system of our uniquely configured Elekta Infinity accelerator with the MLCi2 treatment head were mea...
متن کاملNeutron fluence and energy spectra around the Varian Clinac 2100C/2300C medical accelerator.
We have simulated the head geometry of a Varian Clinac 2100C/2300C medical accelerator in a Monte Carlo calculation to produce photoneutrons and transport them through the head shielding into a typical therapy room (modeled by a test cell at Varian Associates). The fast neutron leakage fluence and energy spectra have been calculated at 7 positions around the linac head for typical beam operatio...
متن کاملComparison between small radiation therapy electron beams collimated by Cerrobend and tubular applicators
The purpose of this study was to compare the dosimetric properties of small field electron beams shaped by circular Cerrobend blocks and stainless steel tubular applicators. Percentage depth dose curves, beam profiles, and output factors of small-size circular fields from 2 to 5 cm diameter, obtained either by tubular applicators and Cerrobend blocks, were measured for 6, 10, and 15 MeV electro...
متن کاملComparison of measured Varian Clinac 21EX and TrueBeam accelerator electron field characteristics
Dosimetric comparisons of radiation fields produced by Varian's newest linear accelerator, the TrueBeam, with those produced by older Varian accelerators are of interest from both practical and research standpoints. While photon fields have been compared in the literature, similar comparisons of electron fields have not yet been reported. In this work, electron fields produced by the TrueBeam a...
