Rotational total skin electron irradiation with a linear accelerator
The rotational total skin electron irradiation (RTSEI) technique at our institution has undergone several developments over the past few years. Replacement of the formerly used linear accelerator has prompted many modifications to the previous technique. With the current technique, the patient is treated with a single large field while standing on a rotating platform, at a source-to-surface dis...
متن کاملClinical report on external irradiation combined with californium-252 neutron intraluminal brachytherapy for cervical carcinoma treatment.
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Neutron rays produce high linear energy transfer radiation, which has particular radiobiological characteristics. The aim of the study was to observe the curative effects and complications of external irradiation combined with californium-252 (252Cf) neutron intraluminal brachytherapy for treatment of cervical carcinoma. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN From December 2000 to Decem...
متن کاملAnthropomorphic Phantoms for Confirmation of Linear Accelerator-Based Small Animal Irradiation
Three dimensional (3D) scanning and printing technology is utilized to create phantom models of mice in order to assess the accuracy of ionizing radiation dosing from a clinical, human-based linear accelerator. Phantoms are designed to simulate a range of research questions, including irradiation of lung tumors and primary subcutaneous or orthotopic tumors for immunotherapy experimentation. The...
متن کاملThe Effect of Field Size and Distance from the Field Center on Neutron Contamination in Medical Linear Accelerator
Objective: Using Megavoltage photons generated by medical linear accelerator is a common modality for the treatment of malignant. The crucial problem for using photon beams >8MV is the photoneutron yields that increase the risk of secondary cancer that treated with high-energy photon beams. The contaminated neutrons produced in different components of the accelerator head and rely on many param...
