Rotational total skin electron irradiation with a linear accelerator
The rotational total skin electron irradiation (RTSEI) technique at our institution has undergone several developments over the past few years. Replacement of the formerly used linear accelerator has prompted many modifications to the previous technique. With the current technique, the patient is treated with a single large field while standing on a rotating platform, at a source-to-surface dis...
متن کاملCalibration of Gafchromic EBT3 for Dose Measurements in Low-Energy Proton Beam
The use of radiochromic film (RCF) dosimetry is widely consolidated for applications in photon, electron and proton beams. It offers several advantages, in particular, two-dimensional measurements of dose distributions with high spatial resolution, no post irradiation processing required and no daylight sensitivity. In addition, it shows small LET and energy dependence. GAFCHROMIC® EBT3 films, ...
متن کاملCraniospinal Irradiation in Medulloblastoma using High Energy Medical Linear Accelerator: an Innovative Approach to Planning Technique
Background: Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) of medulloblastoma poses technological challenges due to the involvement of large treatment volume. Commonly, the whole treatment length is covered with two different isocentric plans in which the junction is shifted after every five fractions to overcome the possibility of hot and cold spot.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dosimetrically and cli...
متن کاملCalibration of GafChromic EBT3 for absorbed dose measurements in 5 MeV proton beam and (60)Co γ-rays.
PURPOSE To study EBT3 GafChromic film in low-energy protons, and for comparison purposes, in a reference (60)Co beam in order to use it as a calibrated dosimetry system in the proton irradiation facility under construction within the framework of the Oncological Therapy with Protons (TOP)-Intensity Modulated Proton Linear Accelerator for RadioTherapy (IMPLART) Project at ENEA-Frascati, Italy. ...
متن کاملBlood irradiation with accelerator produced electron beams.
Blood and blood products are irradiated with gamma rays to reduce the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD). A simple technique using electron beams produced by a medical linear accelerator has been studied to evaluate irradiation of blood and blood products. Variations in applied doses for a single field 20 MeV electron beam are measured in a phantom study. Doses have been verified with ion...
