Dosimetry for New Radiation Therapy Approaches Using High Energy Electron Accelerators

Dosimetry for New Radiation Therapy Approaches Using High Energy Electron Accelerators

We have performed dosimetry studies using electron beams with energies up to 50 MeV, which exceed current clinical energy ranges and approaches the bottom end of the very high energy electron range. 50 MeV electron beams can reach deep-seated tumors. In contrast to photon beams, electron beams can b...
