Design, Simulation and Manufacture of a Multileaf Collimator to Confirm the Target Volumes in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Introduction: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is one of the cancer treatment methods. It is important to selectively aim at the target in this way, which can be performed using a multileaf collimator (MLC). Materials and Methods: In order to specifically irradiate the target volume in radiotherapy to reduce the patient absorbed dose, the use of multileaf collimator has been investi...
متن کاملDosimetric characteristics of an electron multileaf collimator for modulated electron radiation therapy
Modulated electron radiation therapy (MERT) has been proven as an effective way to deliver conformal dose distributions to shallow tumors while sparing distal critical structures and surrounding normal tissues. It had been shown that a dedicated electron multileaf collimator (eMLC) is necessary to reach the full potential of MERT. In this study, a manually-driven eMLC for MERT was investigated....
متن کاملrole of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus
cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
15 صفحه اولMultileaf collimator shape matrix decomposition
An important method in cancer treatment is the use of high energetic radiation. In order to kill tumor cells the patient is exposed to radiation that is delivered by a linear accelerator whose beam head can be rotated about the treatment couch. Inevitably the healthy tissue surrounding the tumor is also exposed to some radiation. So the problem arises to arrange the treatment in a way such that...
