In the present study, we have presented and validated a plastic scintillation detector (PSD) system designed for real-time multiprobe in vivo measurements.The PSDs were built with a dose-sensitive volume of 0.4 mm(3). The PSDs were assembled into mod

Complex radiation therapy techniques require dosimetric verification of treatment planning and delivery. The authors investigated a liquid scintillator (LS) system for application for real-time high-energy photon beam dosimetry. The system was compri

Background and purpose Loco-regional failure after radiotherapy with total doses of 60–70 Gy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a major clinical problem. Escalation of radiation dose is often limited because of exceeding normal tissue c

As cancer therapy becomes more efficacious and patients survive longer, the potential for late effects increases, including effects induced by radiation dose delivered away from the treatment site. This out-of-field radiation is of particular concern

Purpose: To measure and compare neutron fluence around an accelerator operating at 18 MV, both with the flattening filter present (FF mode) and absent (flattening-filter–free [FFF] mode). Methods and Materials: The neutron fluence was measured at s

Dose to the patient outside of the treatment field is important when evaluating the outcome of radiotherapy treatments. However, determining out-of-field doses for any particular treatment plan currently requires either time-consuming measurements or

In conventional linear accelerators, the flattening filter provides a uniform lateral dose profile. In intensity modulated radiation therapy applications, however, the flatness of the photon field and hence the presence of a flattening filter, is not

Several studies have shown that removal of the flattening filter from the treatment head of a clinical accelerator increases the dose rate and changes the lateral profile in radiation therapy with photons. However, the multileaf collimator (MLC) used

In principle, the concept of flat initial radiation-dose distribution across the beam is unnecessary for intensity modulated radiation therapy. Dynamic leaf positioning during irradiation could appropriately adjust the fluence distribution of an unfl

In conventional clinical linear accelerators, the flattening filter scatters and absorbs a large fraction of primary photons. Increasing the beam-on time, which also increases the out-of-field exposure to patients, compensates for the reduction in ph
