MOSFET dosimetry for microbeam radiation therapy at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
Preclinical experiments are carried out with approximately 20-30 microm wide, approximately 10 mm high parallel microbeams of hard, broad-"white"-spectrum x rays (approximately 50-600 keV) to investigate microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) of brain tumors in infants for whom other kinds of radiotherapy are inadequate and/or unsafe. Novel physical microdosimetry (implemented with MOSFET chips in t...
متن کاملEvaluation of a commercially‐available block for spatially fractionated radiation therapy
In this paper, we present the dosimetric characteristics of a commercially-produced universal GRID block for spatially fractioned radiation therapy. The dosimetric properties of the GRID block were evaluated. Ionization chamber and film measurements using both Kodak EDR2 and Gafchromic EBT film were performed in a solid water phantom to determine the relative output of the GRID block as well as...
متن کاملFractionated Radiation Therapy for Benign Nonacoustic Schwannomas.
OBJECTIVES We analyzed the outcomes of patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas treated with fractionated radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Between October 1987 and March 2013, 11 patients with benign nonacoustic schwannomas diagnosed radiographically (n=3) or pathologically (n=8) were treated with fractionated RT with curative intent at the University of Florida. We reviewed patients' medi...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of parallel opposed spatially fractionated radiation therapy of deep-seated bulky tumors.
Application of a single fraction of parallel opposed GRID beams as a means of increasing the efficiency of radiation delivery to deep-seated tumors has been investigated. This evaluation was performed by measurement of dosimetric characteristics of the GRID radiation field in parallel opposed and single beam geometry. The limitations of the parallel opposed technique in terms of field size and ...
متن کاملFractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for intact brain metastases
Purpose Limited data exist on fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (FSRT) for brain metastases. We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FSRT and further define its role in brain metastasis management. Methods and materials A total of 72 patients were treated with linear accelerator-based FSRT to 182 previously untreated, intact brain metastases. Targets received 25 or 30 Gy in...
