Field shaping in electron beam therapy.
In the treatment of superficial lesions with 8-13 MeV electrons, lead shields are often used to protect the underlying tissue. Measurements were made with film and ion chamber to analyse various aspects of external and internal shielding in electron beam therapy. Data were obtained on the thickness of lead required for shielding, the effect of blocking on dose-rate, electron-backscattering from...
متن کاملDesign and production of 3D printed bolus for electron radiation therapy
This is a proof-of-concept study demonstrating the capacity for modulated electron radiation therapy (MERT) dose distributions using 3D printed bolus. Previous reports have involved bolus design using an electron pencil beam model and fabrication using a milling machine. In this study, an in-house algorithm is presented that optimizes the dose distribution with regard to dose coverage, conformi...
متن کاملGenerating a quasiellipsoidal electron beam by 3D laser-pulse shaping.
A generic 3D laser-pulse-shaping scheme is proposed towards the generation of a uniform ellipsoidal particle distribution, an ideal distribution due to the linear dependence of the space-charge force on the particle position. The shaping is accomplished via spatiotemporal coupling of the laser dynamics via chromatic aberration in an optical lens. Particle tracking simulations show that the elec...
متن کاملPotential therapeutic misadministration due to inappropriate electron beam field shaping
Lead or cerrobend blocking strips are used to shape electron treatment fields when an appropriate custom insert is not available. For the Varian 2100C accelerator, the structural supports of the electron applicators impede the free placement of these field-shaping strips on the open custom insert frame while placement at the top of the applicator is unimpeded. We have investigated the dosimetri...
متن کاملCharacterisation of electron-beam deposited tungsten interconnects
Electron beam deposition of tungsten from W(CO)6 has been studied for a range of different height deposits. The resistance of the deposited tracks was found to decrease with increasing height implying that thicker deposits have a higher metallic cross section. It was also found that when the current limits were increased to values in excess of 100 μA, the resistance decreased with successive vo...
