background: this cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays; and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-tx on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin b1. methods: overall, 168 one-d-old chicks (japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a compl...

  Introduction: This study aimed to report the measurement of photon and electron beams to configure the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm and Electron Monte Carlo used in clinical treatment. Material and Methods: All measurements were performed in a large water phantom using a 3-dimensional scanning system (PTW, Germany). ...

introduction: natural organic matters (noms) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (dbps). humic matters like humic acid (ha) are component of noms that should be removed from water. advanced oxidation process (aops) is one of the noms removal methods. the aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...

PURPOSE Assessment of the fundamental dosimetric characteristics of a novel gated fiber-optic-coupled dosimetry system for clinical electron beam irradiation. METHODS The response of fiber-optic-coupled dosimetry system to clinical electron beam, with nominal energy range of 6-20 MeV, was evaluated for reproducibility, linearity, and output dependence on dose rate, dose per pulse, energy, and...

Modern dual photon energy linear accelerators often come with a few megavoltage electron beams. The megavoltage electron beam has limited range and relative sharp distal falloff in its depth dose curve compared to that of megavoltage photon beam. Its radiation dose is often delivered appositionally to cover the target volume to its distal 90% depth dose (d90), while avoiding the normal--sometim...

Monthly QA is recommended to verify the constancy of high-energy electron beams generated for clinical use by linear accelerators. The tolerances are defined as 2%/2 mm in beam penetration according to AAPM task group report 142. The practical implementation is typically achieved by measuring the ratio of readings at two different depths, preferably near the depth of maximum dose and at the dep...
