Introduction to passive electron intensity modulation
This work introduces a new technology for electron intensity modulation, which uses small area island blocks within the collimating aperture and small area island apertures in the collimating insert. Due to multiple Coulomb scattering, electrons contribute dose under island blocks and lateral to island apertures. By selecting appropriate lateral positions and diameters of a set of island blocks...
متن کاملImage‐guided bolus electron conformal therapy – a case study
We report on our initial experience with daily image guidance for the treatment of a patient with a basal cell carcinoma of the nasal dorsum using bolus electron conformal therapy. We describe our approach to daily alignment using treatment machine-integrated megavoltage (MV) planar imaging in conjunction with cone beam CT (CBCT) volumetric imaging to ensure the best possible setup reproducibil...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Eclipse eMC algorithm for bolus electron conformal therapy using a standard verification dataset
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and calculation speed of electron dose distributions calculated by the Eclipse electron Monte Carlo (eMC) algorithm for use with bolus electron conformal therapy (ECT). The recent com-mercial availability of bolus ECT technology requires further validation of the eMC dose calculation algorithm. eMC-calculated electron dose distributions for...
متن کاملComparison of Radiobiological Models for Radiation Therapy Plans of Prostate Cancer: Three-dimensional Conformal versus Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...
متن کاملClinical application of 3D-printed-step-bolus in post-total-mastectomy electron conformal therapy
The 3D-printed boluses were used during the radiation therapy of the chest wall in six patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy (MRM). We measured the in-vivo skin doses while both conventional and 3D-printed boluses were placed on the chest wall and compared the mean doses delivered to the ipsilateral lung and the heart. The homogeneity and conformity of the dose distribut...
