Advances in Medical Linear Accelerator Technology
Technological inventions and developments have created new possibilities and breakthroughs in medical era. The classic example is the discovery of X-rays by W.C. Roentgen, one hundred years ago. The first dawning rays appeared quite literally just before the beginning of the 20th century. In 1895 a German physicist named Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen accidentally discovered a form of radiation that c...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Phase Space Generator software for Medical Linear Accelerator Applications
Introduction: During the last decades, simulation of radiation therapy treatment conditions in treatment room for studying with more details in comparison with treatment planning system (TPS) is taken into consideration. The most problem with starting these kind of researches is the geometry of Medical linacs and verification of the accelerators. Therefore, researchers tried to...
متن کاملMedical Isotope Production Using A 60 MeV Linear Electron Accelerator
Medical isotopes can be produced by reactors and accelerators [1]. For certain isotopes there could be an advantage to a certain production method. For example; in some cases production via the ( ,n) or ( ,p) reaction has advantages that include high production yield [2] and production in a matrix that simplifies chemical separation of the desired isotope. To maximize isotope production, a high...
متن کاملSimulation of a medical linear accelerator for teaching purposes
Simulation software for medical linear accelerators that can be used in a teaching environment was developed. The components of linear accelerators were modeled to first order accuracy using analytical expressions taken from the literature. The expressions used constants that were empirically set such that realistic response could be expected. These expressions were programmed in a MATLAB envir...
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...
