- Abstract:
- The use of high energy electron beams for intraoperative radiotherapy necessitates special technical adjustments of the conventional megavolt equipment. At the University Clinic of Radiology, Division of Radiotherapy in Graz, an applicator system for electron energies up to 20 MeV and cone diameters up to 14 cm was developed. A self modified commercial operating table was used instead of the treatment couch to guarantee optimum mobility for the docking maneuver. The technical set-up of this adaptor system as well as the dosimetric considerations and calculations will be presented in detail.
