Craniospinal Irradiation in Medulloblastoma using High Energy Medical Linear Accelerator: an Innovative Approach to Planning Technique
Background: Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) of medulloblastoma poses technological challenges due to the involvement of large treatment volume. Commonly, the whole treatment length is covered with two different isocentric plans in which the junction is shifted after every five fractions to overcome the possibility of hot and cold spot.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dosimetrically and cli...
متن کاملStereotactic radiosurgery using a linear accelerator.
A basic and clinical study of radiosurgery using the linear accelerator (Linac) system for unremovable deep-seated brain tumors is reported. A Komai stereotactic ring was used to locate the target coordinates. The patient was laid on the Linac treatment table and held in the head fixation system. Irradiation was given in five positions. The dose profile by film dosimetry and Rando phantom was s...
متن کاملSystematic and comprehensive analysis of the dose-response characteristics of a morning quality check of a linear accelerator and an important application of accelerator performance prediction
Background: This paper aimed to analyze the output constancy of a medical linear accelerator using PTW QUICKCHECKwebline and studied the sensitivity of the PTW QUICKCHECKwebline. Materials and Methods: The paper statistically analyzed the output doses of 6 MV and 10 MV of photons and 6 MeV, 9 MeV, and 12 MeV of electrons from a medical linear accelerator measured before the daily treatment to ...
متن کاملInference for a Proton Accelerator Using Convolution Models
Proton beams present difficulties in analysis because of the limited data that can be collected. The study of such beams must depend upon complex computer simulators that incorporate detailed physical equations. The statistical problem of interest is to infer the initial state of the beam from the limited data collected as the beam passes through a series of focusing magnets. We are thus faced ...
متن کاملElectron acceleration in a helical waveguide
Travelling wave in a helical wave guide is considered for electron acceleration. A first determination of the travelling wave modes using a partial wave expansion (PWE) and a point matching method is presented. It gives a rapid solution for moderate deformation of the guide relative to a straight cylinder. Strong deformations will give higher accelerating gradient but the PWE diverges. Two meth...
