We compare measured output factors of clinical electron fields to those calculated by a commercial treatment planning system based on an electron Monte Carlo algorithm. The measured data is comprised of 195 fields with energies 6 to 18 MeV, applicato

A commercial electron dose calculation software implementation based on the macro Monte Carlo algorithm has recently been introduced. We have evaluated the performance of the system using a standard verification data set comprised of two-dimensional

Total skinelectron irradiation (TSEI) with single fields requires large electron beams having good dose uniformity, d max at the skin surface, and low bremsstrahlung contamination. To satisfy these requirements, energy degraders and scattering foils

Some modern treatment planning systems (TPSs) provide for input of wedge factor (WF) tables covering the entire range of square and elongated fields available on the accelerator. Depending on the field size increment chosen and the number of availabl

Purpose With advances in imaging studies, dose specification for uterine cancer can be defined at specific anatomical sites such as the myometrium or the serosal surface rather than at arbitrary points or milligram-hours. This report presents our exp

Unlike the penetrating monoenergetic 662 keV gamma rays emitted by 137Cs LDR sources, the spectrum of 192Ir used in HDR brachytherapy contains low-energy components. Since these are selectively absorbed by the high-atomic number materials of which in

The capability of a commercial respiratory gating system based on video tracking of reflective markers to reduce motion-induced CT planning and treatment errors was evaluated. Spherical plastic shells (2.8-82 cm3), simulating the gross target volume

Carcinoma of the cervix is typically treated with a combination of intracavitary brachytherapy and external beam radiation. The external beam dose is delivered with whole pelvis fields followed by split fields that protect midline organs at risk (bla

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a dynamic multileaf collimator (DMLC) requires synchronization of DMLC leaf motion with dose delivery. A delay in DMLC communication is known to cause leaf lag and lead to dosimetric errors. The error

BACKGROUND Clinical trials of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) often use dose fractionation to reduce marrow toxicity. The dosing scheme can be optimized if marrow and tumor cell kinetics following radiation exposure are known. METHODS A mathematic model of
