Moving gantry method for electron beam dose profile measurement at extended source‐to‐surface distances
A novel method has been put forward for very large electron beam profile measurement. With this method, absorbed dose profiles can be measured at any depth in a solid phantom for total skin electron therapy. Electron beam dose profiles were collected with two different methods. Profile measurements were performed at 0.2 and 1.2 cm depths with a parallel plate and a thimble chamber, respectively...
متن کاملElectron beam therapy at extended source‐to‐surface distance: a Monte Carlo investigation
Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo methods were used to investigate clinical electron beams, at standard and non-standard SSDs, from a Siemens Oncor Avant Garde (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) linear acce...
متن کاملGenerating a Homogeneous Dose Distribution in the Junction Region between Two Adjacent Fields in Electron Beam Therapy
Introduction: Treatment with megavoltage electron beams is ideal for irradiating superficial tumors because of their limited range in tissues. However, for electron treatment of extended areas, such as the chest wall, two or more adjacent fields can be used. Abutment of these fields may lead to significant dose in homogeneities in the junction region. The aim of this study is to offer a new met...
متن کاملA New Profile Measurement Method for Thin Film Surface
In order to measure the surface profile of the thin films in wide area with high accuracy, the research on the new measurement method was conducted and many patents on measurement method and system were researched. Based on the physical properties of soft thin film, the method of using white interferometer and ball cantilevers for measuring the surface profile of thin film is proposed. Then, th...
متن کاملScanning Electron Beam Profile Monitor
A scanning beam profile monitor is described that was developed for use along the Stanford two-mile linear accelerator. The maximum beam loss due to scattering caused by this monitor can be made to be a small fraction of that which would be caused by a Cerenkov radiator or scintillating screen. (To be submitted to the Review of Scientific Instruments) * Work supported by the U. S. Atomic Energy...
