Dosimetric Comparison between 6MV Flattened Filter and Flattening Filter Free Photon Beams in the Treatment of Glioblastoma with IMRT Technique: A Treatment Planning Study
Introduction: The present study evaluated the dosimetric comparison between 6MV flattened filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beams in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 10 patients with GBM previously...
متن کاملInvestigation of Neutron Contamination of Flattening Filter and Flattening Filter-Free 10-MV Photon Beams in Elekta InfinityTM Accelerator
Introduction: This study aimed to measure the neutron contamination of flattening filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) 10-MV photon beams delivered by the Elekta InfinityTM accelerator. Material and Methods: The photoneutron spectrum produced by the Linac head was evaluated using a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The geometry ...
متن کاملDosimetric influence of Flattening Filter (FF) and Flattening Filter Free (FFF) 6 and 10 MV photon beams on Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) planning in case of prostate carcinoma
Background: In the treatment of prostate cancer, radiotherapy is the potential to increase second primary cancers such as bladder and rectal cancers. The reasons for this potential are more monitor units (MUs), therefore a larger total body dose because of leakage radiation, a bigger volume of normal tissue is exposed to lower radiation doses. This study was designed to compare the integral dos...
متن کاملStudy of Dosimetric Properties of Flattening Filter Free Photon Beam Passing through Cadmium Free Compensator Alloy
Background: This study aims to investigate radiation beam geometry of Cyberknife beam and change in dosimetric characteristics of six megavoltage (6MV) flattening filter free (FFF) beam after passing through high density cadmium free compensator alloy.Material and Methods: In this experimental study, changes in FFF beam dosimetric characteristics after passing through compensator alloy wa...
متن کاملEffect of dose rate on antitumor activity in hypoxic cells by using flattening filter free beams
Background: Recently, the Flattening Filter Free (FFF) beams, which allow a dose rate increase of up to four times compared to the normal dose rate, have been incorporated into radiation therapy machines. The aim of this study is to evaluate antitumor activity in hypoxic cells irradiated with different dose rates using FFF beams and to identify the casual mechanism for cellular damage during ir...
