Whole-breast external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) involves a 6-week course of fractionated treatments. In contrast, brachytherapy can be completed in a 4- to 5-day treatment course. Because of this shortened time frame, there has been interest in b

Effective radiotherapy for extensive angiosarcomas of the face and scalp is technically difficult due to the complex shape of the volume at risk, which can consist of the superficial tissues of the entire head. This work reports the details of a rota

This work reports the results of an experiment carried out to investigate the compatibility of TG-21 ion chamber calibration with Fricke dosimetry near the extremes of the clinically available megavoltage photon energy range. Doses determined from io

Abutment of unmodified electron fields to irradiate large areas can lead to significant dose inhomogeneities in the region of junction of the fields. In this paper we describe the design and dosimetric characteristics of a device developed to broaden

The presence of the Lucite blocking tray in a 45‐MV betatron beam leads to a considerable loss in the skin‐sparing properties of this unit. Measurements conducted with a parallel‐plate chamber show that the surface dose is approximately doubled

It is shown that the use of variational trial functions with non-Hermitian pseudopotentials can lead to energies which do not represent accurate upper bounds to the true energy. Such difficulties can be resolved in principle by choosing a trial funct

A new calculation procedure for interstitial implants with I-125 seeds is presented. The total activity of I-125 seeds required to deliver a net minimum dose of 1 Gy is also given as a function of implant volume for various seed spacings. This will p
