Fabrication of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in total body photon irradiation and total skin electron irradiation studies
Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...
متن کاملA translational couch technique for total body irradiation
We have constructed a computer controlled translational couch to administer total body irradiation reproducibly and safely. The system has replaced the previous stationary anterior-posterior technique in our institution and 30 plus patients have been treated with it so far. In this technique, patients comfortably lie on a couch in supine and prone positions and are transported slowly through a ...
متن کاملDiode calibration for dose determination in total body irradiation
Background: Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is different from standard radiotherapy in many aspects, so it is not easy to predict the delivered dose to the patient under TBI treatment. Diode dosimetry procedures for surface dose reading can help to define variations of the actually delivered dose from the prescribed one. The aim of this study was to describe the measurements made to calib...
متن کاملTotal body irradiation for myelomatosis.
In the first myeloma trial of the M.R.C. working party on leukaemia in adults the deaths that have occurred can be attributed to unrelated diseases (5%h-for example, cosonary thrombosis, etc.); causes indirectly telated to the tumour (80,for example, pneumonia due to the immune paresis); no obvious response of the tumour to treatment (27/); and finally relapse of the tumour after an initial res...
متن کاملTotal body irradiation—an attachment free sweeping beam technique
INTRODUCTION A sweeping beam technique for total body irradiation in standard treatment rooms and for standard linear accelerators (linacs) is introduced, which does not require any accessory attached to the linac. Lung shielding is facilitated to reduce the risk of pulmonary toxicity. Additionally, the applicability of a commercial radiotherapy planning system (RTPS) is examined. MATERIAL AN...
