Evaluation of dosimetric characteristics of a grid block fabricated for Mega-voltage grid therapy purposes

Background: In conventional radiation therapy, regarding normal tissue tolerance, the treatment of bulk tumors is one of the remaining challenges. Grid Radiation Therapy (GRT) is a technique to deliver high doses, approximately 15 – 20 Gy per fraction, to several small volumes located in a large radiation field. This can be performed using a grid block. The current work has concentrate...

Grid: A location dependent intensity modulated radiotherapy for bulky tumors

Background: An effective method for management of large and bulky malignant tumors. This treatment modality is also known as Specially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT). In this treatment technique a grid block converted the open radiation field into a series of pencil beams. Dosimetric characteristics of an external beam grid radiation field have been investigated using experimental and Mo...

The Athena Startup Kit

The Athena Startup Kit (ask), is an interactive front-end to the Atlas software framework (athena). Written in python, a very effective “glue” language, it is build on top of the, in principle unrelated, code repository, build, configuration, debug, binding, and analysis tools. Ask automates many error-prone tasks that are otherwise left to the end-user, thereby pre-empting a whole category of ...
