Electron beam therapy at extended SSD: a Monte Carlo investigation of output fom a Siemens Oncor linear accelerator
Foley, Mark J.; O'Shea, T. P.; Downes, Patrick A.; Shearer, Andrew (2008)Electron-beam therapy is used to treat superficial tumors at a standard 100 cm source-to-surface distance (SSD). However, certain clinical situations require the use of an extended SSD. In the present study, Monte Carlo ... -
Improved simulation of small electron fields for external beam radiation therapy
Foley, Mark J.; O'Shea, T. P.; Faddegon, B. A. (2009)This paper reports on improved simulation of small electron fields from a Siemens Primus linear accelerator. Accelerator simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo user code BEAMnrc. Source and geometry parameters ...
