Dosimetric pitfalls in the application of shielding disk in breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy
Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...
متن کاملImaging dose from cone beam computed tomography in radiation therapy.
Imaging dose in radiation therapy has traditionally been ignored due to its low magnitude and frequency in comparison to therapeutic dose used to treat patients. The advent of modern, volumetric, imaging modalities, often as an integral part of linear accelerators, has facilitated the implementation of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), which is often accomplished by daily imaging of patien...

متن کاملMonte 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...
