  2. 1. Energy and intensity modulated radiation therapy with electrons

    Author : Lennart Olofsson; Mikael Karlsson; Magnus Karlsson; Björn Zackrisson; Erik Traneus; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiation sciences; Radiation therapy; Conformal therapy; IMRT; Electrons; Electron treatment head; Electron MLC; Bremsstrahlung reduction; Integral dose; Penumbra; Output factor; Strålningsvetenskap; Radiation biology; Strålningsbiologi; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Abstract : In recent years intensity modulated radiation therapy with photons (xIMRT) has gained attention due to its ability to reduce the dose in the tissues close to the tumour volume. However, this technique also results in a large low dose volume. READ MORE

  4. 2. Beam Modelling for Treatment Planning of Scanned Proton Beams

    Author : Peter Kimstrand; Bengt Glimelius; Erik Traneus; Nina Tilly; Anders Ahnesjö; Thomas Bortfeld; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Radiation sciences; proton therapy; treatment planning; beam modelling; dose calculation; Monte Carlo; Strålningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Scanned proton beams offer the possibility to take full advantage of the dose deposition properties of proton beams, i.e. the limited range and sharp peak at the end of the range, the Bragg peak. READ MORE
