Radiation survey around a Liac mobile electron linear accelerator for intraoperative radiation therapy
The aim of this study was to perform a detailed analysis of the air kerma values around a Liac mobile linear accelerator working in a conventional operating room (OR) for IORT. The Liac delivers electron beams at 4, 6, 8 and 10 MeV. A radiation survey to determine photon leakage and scatter consisted of air kerma measurements on a spherical surface of 1.5 m radius, centered on the titanium exit...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of the Electron Beams Produced by a Linear Accelerator for Intra- Operative Radiation Therapy
In this work, organized as a short review, we present some results obtained by applying the Monte Carlo techniques in the Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT). The electron beams generated by the NOVAC7 IORT accelerator have been simulated using BEAMnrc/EGSnrc Monte Carlo code, the dose distributions and water-to-air stopping power ratios being later calculated with the associated software ...
متن کاملExcellent local control with preoperative radiation therapy, surgical resection, and intra-operative electron radiation therapy for retroperitoneal sarcoma.
PURPOSE To examine the value of surgical resection combined with preoperative external beam radiation therapy and intraoperative radiation therapy (Surg-RT) for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). METHODS Review of 63 consecutive patients with RPS from 1996 to 2011. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients (59%) underwent Surg-RT and 26 (41%) had surgery alone. 51% of tumors were high grade and 36% of pati...
