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...

Protective and dosimeter design of the stationary and mobile model truck inspection system with electron linear accelerator radiation source

In this work, calculations of leaked dose from vehicle inspection area, the absorbed dose by driver and operator, and the required concrete thickness for shielding the inspection area are presented using the Monte Carlo code MCNPX2.6. The X-ray source of the present vehicle inspection system is a LinatronMi6 accelerator, end of which has only been simulated in this study (the electron beam coll...

Commissioning 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. ...

Design of the Laser-Driven RF Electron Gun for the BNL Accelerator Test Facility

The BNL electron gun will incorporate a laser-driven photocathode in the wall of a 1 cell RF cavity operated at a peak field of 100 MV/m. Pulses of 4.5-MeV energy, 5-ps width, and 1-nC charge will be produced with very little emittance growth due to the effects of space-charge and nonlinear RF fields. The design of the gun was aided by extensive computer simulation described here.
