Monte Carlo and experimental small-field dosimetry applied to spatially fractionated synchrotron radiotherapy techniques

Monte Carlo and experimental small-field dosimetry applied to spatially fractionated synchrotron radiotherapy techniques

Two innovative radiotherapy (RT) approaches are under development at the ID17 Biomedical Beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF): microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) and minibeam radiation therapy (MBRT). The two main distinct characteristics with respect to conventional RT are...
