Introduction: Accuboost is a HDR brachytherapy system in early stages breast cancer treatment. This device provides a completely noninvasive procedure with parallel-opposed radiation from two immobilizing peripheral applicators that caused it a preferred option of modalities to choose. In most commercial treatment planning systems, tissues are considered as a simple water phan...

The dosimetric characteristics of germanium (Ge) doped optical fibres are investigated as a potential alternative for electron beam therapy postal audits. 6 mol% Ge-doped fabricated cylindrical (CF) and flat (FF) established in terms signal fading, linearity dose-response, energy- dose rate dependence. Pilot audit study irradiations made with linear accelerator located at the Royal Surrey Count...

Introduction: Radiation therapy involves a multistep procedure; therefore, the error in patient set up is an inherent part of the treatment. Main purpose of this study was to determine the clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) in head and neck cancer patients. Material and Methods: A total of 15 patients who had daily p...
