Intraoperative Radiotherapy With INTRABEAM: Technical and Dosimetric Considerations
Methods and materials: Dose measurements were performed for a low energy (50 kV) X-ray INTRABEAM source. For spherical, flat, surface, and needle applicators, the following dosimetric parameters were measured: depth-dose (DD) profiles, surface dose (Ds), output factors (OF), and target dose homogeneity (DH). Optical density versus exposure calibration films were employed to obtain 2-dimensional...
متن کاملIntraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) for breast cancer using the Intrabeam system.
INTRODUCTION Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) with low-energy X-rays (30-50 KV) is an innovative technique that can be used both for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) and intraoperative boosting in patients affected by breast cancer. Immediately after tumor resection the tumor bed can be treated with low-distance X-rays by a single high dose. Whereas often a geographic miss in cov...

متن کاملComparing the dosimetric characteristics of the electron beam from dedicated intraoperative and conventional radiotherapy accelerators
The specific design of the mobile dedicated intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) accelerators and different electron beam collimation system can change the dosimetric characteristics of electron beam with respect to the conventional accelerators. The aim of this study is to measure and compare the dosimetric characteristics of electron beam produced by intraoperative and conventional radiotherapy...
متن کاملStereotactic body radiation therapy for liver tumours using flattening filter free beam: dosimetric and technical considerations
PURPOSE To report the initial institute experience in terms of dosimetric and technical aspects in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivered using flattening filter free (FFF) beam in patients with liver lesions. METHODS AND MATERIALS From October 2010 to September 2011, 55 consecutive patients with 73 primary or metastatic hepatic lesions were treated with SBRT on TrueBeam using F...
