The purpose of this work was to study displacement error and internal movements of the prostate during external beam radiotherapy. Verification films in the frontal (n = 194) and lateral (n = 64) portals were investigated in 14 patients treated with

A phase II study is presented, which encompasses the period June 1987 until July 1993, and includes 53 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer T2-4b who, due to age and/or poor health (37 cases) or primarily extensive lesions (18 cases), were co

A formalism tailored for portal dose image verification is proposed to facilitate the comparison of calculated and measured portal dose distributions. Each portal image is converted into a dose proportional image and normalized to the reference beam

We investigated the use of unencapsulated silicon semiconductor detectors for backscatter radiation detection. The results were compared with Monte Carlo (MC) calculations modelling the experimental set-up. A special diode was manufactured, which was

The purpose of the present study was to identify factors of importance in the planning of external beam radiotherapy of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Seven patients with urogenital cancers were planned for external radiotherapy of the prostate. Four diff

This paper describes a dual-scattering-foil technique for flattening of radiotherapeutic charged particle beams. A theory for optimization of shapes and thicknesses of the scattering foils is presented. The result is a universal optimal secondary-sca

In this study, we have investigated the combined effect of estramustine treatment and external beam radiation on human prostatic cancer tumor cells (DU 145) transplanted in nude mice. The treatment was given according to two different schedules. In t

The dose rate response was investigated for a small p-type silicon dose detector. Linearity was obtained up to 0.25 Gy per pulse at zero external bias. Saturation arose when the number of created electron-hole pairs was of the same magnitude as the d

A p-type silicon radiation detector has been constructed and the effect of radiation damage on sensitivity and dose rate dependence has been studied. The dose rate dependence showed, in contrast to an n-type silicon detector, a linear dose rate respo

Semiconductor detectors based on p-type silicon and designed for in vivo measurement of entrance dose at the reference point from photon radiation fields, are described. To estimate the absorbed dose at the reference point from measurements with a th
