Dosimetric pitfalls in the application of shielding disk in breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy
Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...
متن کاملHigh-dose-rate intraoperative radiation therapy for colorectal cancer.
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) has the obvious advantage of maximally irradiating the tumor bed while eliminating surrounding normal organs from the field of radiation. This approach has been especially useful when the required radiation dose exceeds the tolerance dose of the surrounding normal tissues. However, the application of IORT has been significantly limited by cost, logistic i...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Electron Beams produced by LIAC Intraoperative Radiation Therapy Accelerator
Background: One of the main problems of dedicated IORT accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. Monte Carlo simulation of IORT accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry.Materials and Methods: Liac accelerator head was modeled using the BEAMnrcMonte Carlo simulation system. Phase-space files were generated at...
متن کاملIterative Determination of Clinical Beam Phase Space From Dose Measurements
Purpose/Objective(s): Real-time feedback, identifying both tumor location and radiation dose,would be beneficial during interventional procedures such as glioma brain tumor resection.We investigated the feasibility of using a fiber-based Cerenkov imaging system to detect tumor margins in the surgical resection cavity invivo. The potential benefit of a Cerenkov imaging is its ability to image tu...
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...
