Dose Calculation For Electron Therapy
<p>The dose delivered by electron beams has a complex dependence on the shape of the field; any field shaping shields, design of collimator systems, and energy of the beam. This complicated dependence is due to multiple scattering of the electron beam as the beam travels from the accelerator head …

Design and Validation of a Prototype Collimation System with Reduced Applicator Weights for Elekta Electron Therapy Beams
The objective of this study was to design an electron collimation system for Elekta Infinity accelerators with significantly reduced applicator weights, while maintaining acceptable in-field beam flatness and out-of-field leakage dose. The design was restricted to 6-20 MeV beams for 6x6 to 25x25 …

Design, Fabrication, and Validation of 3D Printed, Patient-Specific Compensators For Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy
… limitations for postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT). Tissue compensators can be used to reduce dose heterogeneity, hot and cold spots at field junctions, and treatment complexity, but are currently seldom used due to the difficulty in designing, fabricating, and validating them.</p> …
