MONTE CARLO CHARACTERISATION OF ELECTRON BEAMS TRANSPORTED THROUGH A PHOTON MULTI-LEAF COLLIMATOR FOR USE IN MODULATED ELECTRON RADIATION THERAPY
Modulated electron beam therapy (MERT) using photon multi-leaf collimators (pMLC) is an emerging technique. In this study characterization of electron beams collimted by an Elekta Precise machine pMLC for MERT applications was done. The objectives of the study were: a) to model the Elekta Precise ma...
