Commissioning the First Mobile Dedicated Accelerator for Intraoperative Electron Radiotherapy in Iran
Introduction: Intraoperative radiotherapy is a radiotherapy technique in which a high single fraction of radiation dose is delivered to the patient after surgery and Concurrent with anesthesia time. The most frequent method for IORT implementation is Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT), in which, some dedicated and high dose per pulse electron accelerators are employe...
متن کاملCommissioning of a mobile electron accelerator for intraoperative radiotherapy
Radiation performance characteristics of a dedicated intraoperative accelerator were determined to prepare the unit for clinical use. The linear accelerator uses standing wave X-band technology (wavelength approximately 3 centimeters) in order to minimize the mass of the accelerator. The injector design, smaller accelerator components, and low electron beam currents minimize radiation leakage. ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of a Linear Accelerator and Electron Beam Parameters Used in Radiotherapy
Introduction: In recent decades, several Monte Carlo codes have been introduced for research and medical applications. These methods provide both accurate and detailed calculation of particle transport from linear accelerators. The main drawback of Monte Carlo techniques is the extremely long computing time that is required in order to obtain a dose distribution with good statistical accuracy. ...
متن کاملRadiation survey around a Liac mobile electron linear accelerator for intraoperative radiation therapy
The aim of this study was to perform a detailed analysis of the air kerma values around a Liac mobile linear accelerator working in a conventional operating room (OR) for IORT. The Liac delivers electron beams at 4, 6, 8 and 10 MeV. A radiation survey to determine photon leakage and scatter consisted of air kerma measurements on a spherical surface of 1.5 m radius, centered on the titanium exit...
