Purpose Superficial dose is an important parameter in breast cancer radiation therapy.
When treated with conventional linacs, bolus is commonly applied to improve target …

The fundamental principle of external beam radiation therapy is to fit the target volume with a
relatively uniform high dose area while limiting the irradiation of neighboring healthy tissues …

The aim of our work is to provide the up-to-now missing information on the Siemens Artiste
FFF 7 MV beam line using a Monte-Carlo model fit to the realistic dosimetric measurements …

Purpose Recently, high‐precision radiotherapy systems have been developed by
integrating computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to enhance the …

In treatments such as post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) for breast cancer patients,
skin doses are of great importance in terms of tumor control and side effects. This dosimetric …

Purpose The aim of this work was to test the implementation of small field dosimetry
following TRS‐483 and to develop quality assurance procedures for the experimental …

Purpose The aim of this study is to quantify the potential benefits of a flattening filter‐free
(FFF) beam and implement a dose‐computation algorithm for cervical radiotherapy through …

Photon beams with wide energy ranges from 4 MV to 25 MV are commonly used in
radiotherapy nowadays. In recent years, there has been a strong interest in a certain …

The aim of this study was to characterize electron contamination of a flattened (FF) and an
unflattened (FFF) Varian Clinac iX 6X and 15X photon beams using Monte Carlo (MC) …

Background: The free flattening filter (FFF) beam can affect the characteristics of the linac
output such as the maximum dose depth, surface dose, dose in the fall-off area, and doses …
