Trajectory Control for a New Total Skin Electron Treatment Machine
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper focuses attention on the development of a control system for a new radiotherapy treatment machine that makes use of a betatron to deliver electron beams over the whole surface of a patient. The betatron moves above a patient at a fixed distance from the patient support system. This paper presents a method to predict the betatron trajectory, in terms of speed and position, according to variation in the patient’s geometry and is concerned with a simulation study of a PID control strategy implemented to control the speed of the betatron.

متن کاملFabrication of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in total body photon irradiation and total skin electron irradiation studies
Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...
