Multiple-source models for electron beams of a medical linear accelerator using BEAMDP computer code.
AIM The aim of this work was to develop multiple-source models for electron beams of the NEPTUN 10PC medical linear accelerator using the BEAMDP computer code. BACKGROUND One of the most accurate techniques of radiotherapy dose calculation is the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of radiation transport, which requires detailed information of the beam in the form of a phase-space file. The computing...

Background: Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of a linear accelerator is a prerequisite for Monte Carlo dose calculations in external beam radiotherapy. In this study, a simple and efficient model was developed for Elekta SL-25 linear accelerator using MCNP4C Monte Carlo code Materials and methods: The head of Elekta SL-25 linac was simulated for 6 and 18 MV photon beams using MCNP4C MC code. Energ...
متن کاملMedical Isotope Production Using A 60 MeV Linear Electron Accelerator
Medical isotopes can be produced by reactors and accelerators [1]. For certain isotopes there could be an advantage to a certain production method. For example; in some cases production via the ( ,n) or ( ,p) reaction has advantages that include high production yield [2] and production in a matrix that simplifies chemical separation of the desired isotope. To maximize isotope production, a high...

متن کاملMonte Carlo modeling of electron beams from a NEPTUN 10PC medical linear accelerator
Electron beam radiation therapy is used extensively for treating head and neck cancers to avoid the irradiation of the spinal cord. It is also used for treating chest wall malignancies to limit the irradiated volume of lungs. Calculating the dose distribution from an electron field is quite complicated because of the multiple scattering, especially in the presence of internal heterogeneities [1...
