Effective Source-Surface Distance in Various Field Sizes and Electron Beam Energies and its Effect on Cutout Factor in a Elekta Precise Linear Accelerator
Introduction: In electron beam treatment, because of the non-point electron beam source, inverse-square law cannot be applied for dosimetry in different treatment intervals. Therefore, providing source-surface distance (SSD) charts in all clinics is of paramount importance. This study aimed to determine the effective SSD for various electron beam energies and field sizes and to...
متن کاملComparing experimental assessment of the peripheral dose outside the applicator in electron beams of ELEKTA with Treatment planning system
Introduction: The use of electrons in the electron therapy to destroy tumoral tissue is dedicated significant contribution of different methods of radiation therapy. Scattered radiation due to exited electrons of the applicator affect the dose out of the field in the patient's normal tissue. The aim of this study is to determine the peripheral dose outside the applicator in the...
متن کاملDesign and dosimetry characteristics of a commercial applicator system for intra‐operative electron beam therapy utilizing ELEKTA Precise accelerator
The design concept and dosimetric characteristics of a new applicator system for intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) are presented in this work. A new hard-docking commercial system includes polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) applicators with different diameters and applicator end angles and a set of secondary lead collimators. A telescopic device allows changing of source-to-surface distance (S...
متن کاملMedical Isotope Production Using A 60 MeV Linear Electron Accelerator
Medical isotopes can be produced by reactors and accelerators [1]. For certain isotopes there could be an advantage to a certain production method. For example; in some cases production via the ( ,n) or ( ,p) reaction has advantages that include high production yield [2] and production in a matrix that simplifies chemical separation of the desired isotope. To maximize isotope production, a high...
متن کاملA 15 Mev Linear Electron Accelerator Based Source of Tunable Monochromatic X-rays
In an increasing range of research fields there is a strong demand of high-intensity tunable monochromatic X-ray sources. A promising new approach for the production of tunable high-intensity monochromatic beams in the hard X-ray region is the use of electron accelerators of moderate energy (10 MeV range). We developed at the 15 MeV linear electron accelerator of the Ghent University a monochro...
