Evaluation of MVCT images with skin collimation for electron beam treatment planning
This study assessed the potential of using megavoltage CT (MVCT) images taken with high density skin collimation in place for electron beam treatment planning. MVCT images were taken using the TomoTherapy Hi-Art system (TomoTherapy Inc., Madison, WI), and the CT numbers were converted to density by calibrating the Hi-Art system using an electron density phantom. Doses were computed using MVCT i...

متن کاملLinac Coherent Light Source Electron Beam Collimation∗
This paper describes the design and simulation of the electron beam collimation system in the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Dark current is expected from the gun and some of the accelerating cavities. Particle tracking of the expected dark current through the entire LCLS linac, from gun through FEL undulator, is used to estimate final particle extent in the undulator as well as expected b...
متن کاملCollimation with hollow electron beams.
A novel concept of controlled halo removal for intense high-energy beams in storage rings and colliders is presented. It is based on the interaction of the circulating beam with a 5-keV, magnetically confined, pulsed hollow electron beam in a 2-m-long section of the ring. The electrons enclose the circulating beam, kicking halo particles transversely and leaving the beam core unperturbed. By ac...
متن کاملImproving dose calculations on tomotherapy MVCT images
The purpose of this investigation was the creation of a new protocol allowing more precise dose calculations on megavoltage CT (MVCT) images for tomotherapy, both for adaptive and StatRT planning. Daily MVCT images offer, next to positioning purposes, the possibility for daily dose check and adaptive planning. Dose calculations use the image value to density table (IVDT) to calculate physical d...
