Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron Beams produced by LIAC Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Accelerator
Background: One of the main problems of dedicated IORT accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. Monte Carlo simulation of IORT accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry.Materials and Methods: Liac accelerator head was modeled using the BEAMnrcMonte Carlo simulation system. Phase-space files were generated at...
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...

A 6 MeV medical linear accelerator manufactured by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., has been installed in the Aichi Cancer Center Hospital. This is the first unit of this type made in Japan. This paper giv'es a brief description of the unit, reports the results of a series 'of tests for radiation and mechanical accuracy, and summarizes the one year history of calibration and stability. On...
متن کاملBenchmarking of Siemens Linac in Electron Modes: 8-14 MeV Electron Beams
Introduction: Radiation therapy using electron beams is a promising method due to its physical dose distribution. Monte Carlo (MC) code is the best and most accurate technique for forespeaking the distribution of dose in radiation treatment of patients.Materials and Methods: We report an MC simulation of a linac head and depth dose on central axis, along with profile calculations. The purpose o...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of 4 MeV and 6 MeV electron beams for total skin irradiation
BACKGROUND In this study, dosimetric aspects of TSEI consisting of a 4 MeV beam with no spoiler were investigated in comparison to a nominal 6 MeV beam with spoiler, and the potential for clinical applications was evaluated. METHODS The TSEI technique is based on the Stanford technique, which utilizes a beam configuration of six-dual fields. MOSFETs were used to measure the optimal gantry ang...
