Accounting for the fringe magnetic field from the bending magnet in a Monte Carlo accelerator treatment head simulation
(American Institute of Physics, 2011)Purpose: Monte Carlo (MC) simulation can be used for accurate electron beam treatment planning and modeling. Measurement of large electron fields, with the applicator removed and secondary collimator wide open, has been ... -
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, ...
