متن کاملConventional Collimation and Linac Protection
We describe linac protection and a conventional collimation system appqxiate for a next linear collider. The linac accelerating structure can be protected from “worst credible failures” by a system of sacrificial spoilers. For the collimation system we consider the effects of asverse wakefields and the transmission, heating, mechanical stress, and edge-scattering properties of scrapers. We requ...
متن کاملKinetic modeling of tumor growth and dissemination in the craniospinal axis: implications for craniospinal irradiation
BACKGROUND Medulloblastoma and other types of tumors that gain access to the cerebrospinal fluid can spread throughout the craniospinal axis. The purpose of this study was to devise a simple multi-compartment kinetic model using established tumor cell growth and treatment sensitivity parameters to model the complications of this spread as well as the impact of treatment with craniospinal radiot...
متن کاملA feasibility study using TomoDirect for craniospinal irradiation
The feasibility of delivering craniospinal irradiation (CSI) with TomoDirect is investigated. A method is proposed to generate TomoDirect plans using standard three-dimensional (3D) beam arrangements on Tomotherapy with junctioning of these fields to minimize hot or cold spots at the cranial/spinal junction. These plans are evaluated and compared to a helical Tomotherapy and a three-dimensional...
