Development of a Phase Space Generator software for Medical Linear Accelerator Applications
Introduction: During the last decades, simulation of radiation therapy treatment conditions in treatment room for studying with more details in comparison with treatment planning system (TPS) is taken into consideration. The most problem with starting these kind of researches is the geometry of Medical linacs and verification of the accelerators. Therefore, researchers tried to...
متن کاملSimulation of a medical linear accelerator for teaching purposes
Simulation software for medical linear accelerators that can be used in a teaching environment was developed. The components of linear accelerators were modeled to first order accuracy using analytical expressions taken from the literature. The expressions used constants that were empirically set such that realistic response could be expected. These expressions were programmed in a MATLAB envir...
متن کاملAdvances in Medical Linear Accelerator Technology
Technological inventions and developments have created new possibilities and breakthroughs in medical era. The classic example is the discovery of X-rays by W.C. Roentgen, one hundred years ago. The first dawning rays appeared quite literally just before the beginning of the 20th century. In 1895 a German physicist named Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen accidentally discovered a form of radiation that c...
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 کاملMega Voltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (MV- CBCT) using a Standard Medical Linear Accelerator and EPID: A feasibility study.
Introduction: The success of radiotherapy cancer treatment delivery depends on the accuracy of patient positioning for each treatment session. A number of kilovoltage x-ray volumetric imaging modalities with an additional source and detector have been developed to allow patient set-up verification based on the internal anatomy, but a significant portion of medical linacs are on...
