Ion chamber measurements of transverse gamma knife beam profiles
A microchamber, PTW Pinpoint 31006, was used to measure transverse beam profiles for an Elekta Gamma Knife, Model B, and compared with profiles measured with film dosimetry. The microchamber sensitive volume has a diameter of 2 mm, which is smaller than the gamma knife beams, and a length of 5 mm. The chamber was mounted in a custom cassette in a spherical plastic phantom, supplied by Elekta, a...
متن کاملMeasurements of heavy ion beam profiles in gases
Diagnostic of the ion beam profile is a very important part of the any heavy ion beam experiment. Usually, scintillators are used for these purposes. In the HHT-experimental area of GSI, uranium beams of up to 4,5·10 particle per bunch focused in the spot side of 0,8mm x 1,6mm are used [1]. The ion beam of such intensity is capable to destroy any usual scintillator by one shot. In this case, a ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of single-beam dose profiles used in a gamma knife treatment planning system.
The accuracy of single-beam dose profiles used in the algorithm of the Gamma Knife treatment planning system (Leksell GammaPlan) is verified. EGS4 Monte Carlo calculation was employed to calculate the dose distributions of single-beams in a spherical water phantom with diameter 160 mm. The beams were directed to the center of the phantom. Collimators of 4, 8, 14, and 18 mm sizes were studied. T...

Gamma knife is a new noninvasive method for treatment of patient with brain tumors. ‎Another name of this procedure is steriotatic radiosurgery.‎‏ ‏This computerized advanced ‎technique was implicated by a team including neurosurgeon, neuroradialogist, oncologist, and ‎a nurse. This method is used for treatment of certain brain tumors and lesions. The benefits are ‎l...
متن کاملTransverse Ion Beam Shaping Using Nonlinear Optics
Taking an advantage of the unique capabilities of heavy ion beams and continuously increasing beam intensity, many successful experiments on high energy density (HED) matter have been carried out at GSI over the past few years. New fascinating experimental proposals such as investigation of equation-of-state of matter under extreme conditions [1] and generation of metallic hydrogen utilizing io...
