چکیده مقاله:

Background: A set of hardware stereotactic radiosurgery is designed and constructed. The scope of this article is to describe how we have designed and developed stereotactic collimation assembly for a 9 MV Neptun 10 PC linac. Materials and methods: One collimator holder and six collimators were made, with their radiation field diameter between 12.5 mm to 25 mm at isocenter level. Beam data, such as depth dose percent, off axis ratio and output factor of the collimators were measured. Isocentric accuracy and dose delivery, accuracy tests were also performed using locally made isocentric alignment control device, target simulator and plexiglass phantom. Results: Average isocenter shifts resulting from gantry and couch motion were respectively 1.5 mm and 2 mm. Simulating a stereotactic radiosurgery with the help of a plexiglass phantom showed less than one percent radiation leakage to critical organs such as eyes and thyroid. Conclusion: Stereotactic collimation assembly in conjunction with the rest of constructed equipments can be employed to set up SRS treatment, provided safety and to compensate operations are taken into account.

Development of head docking device for linac-based radiosurgery with a Neptun 10 PC linac.

Stereotactic radiosurgery is a method for focused irradiation of intracranial lesions. Linac-based radiosurgery is currently performed by two techniques: couch mounted and pedestal mounted. In the first technique a device is required to affix the patient's head to the couch and neoreover to translate it accurately. Structure of such a device constructed by the authors plus acceptance test perfo...

Conventional Collimation and Linac Protection

We describe linac protection and a conventional collimation system appqxiate for a next linear collider. The linac accelerating structure can be protected from “worst credible failures” by a system of sacrificial spoilers. For the collimation system we consider the effects of asverse wakefields and the transmission, heating, mechanical stress, and edge-scattering properties of scrapers. We requ...

The TESLA Post-linac Collimation System

1 Introduction In high-energy physics colliders, the 'halo' particles surrounding the core of the beams would cause intolerable background in the physics detectors if not removed. Collima-tion systems consisting of mechanical 'spoilers' on the order of a radiation length are placed close to the beam and used to 'scrape' the halo particles off: the particles scattered by the spoilers are then co...
