Electron beam characteristics at extended source-to-surface distances for irregular cut-outs

Electron beam characteristics at extended source-to-surface distances for irregular cut-outs

Electron beam therapy is widely used in the management of cancers. The rapid dose fall-off and the short range of an electron beam enable the treatment of lesions close to the surface, while sparing the underlying tissues. In an extended source-to-surface (SSD) treatment with irregular field sizes d...
