Characterization of an extendable multi-leaf collimator for clinical electron beams
(Institute of Physics, 2011)An extendable x-ray multi-leaf collimator (eMLC) is investigated for collimation of electron beams on a linear accelerator. The conventional method of collimation using an electron applicator is impractical for conformal, ... -
Improved simulation of small electron fields for external beam radiation therapy
(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 ...
