In 2008, Alfonso et al.(Med. Phys. 35, 5179-86) published a stage setting paper outlining a
well thought out dosimetry formalism for reporting corrected relative output factors for small …

Background and purpose A novel cobalt-60 compensator-based intensity-modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT) system was developed for a resource-limited environment but …

Purpose Our purpose was to assess physics quality assurance (QA) practices in less
resourced radiation therapy (RT) centers to improve quality of care. Methods and Materials A …

Abstract The radioisotope cobalt-60 (Co-60) is important for commercial, medical, and
agricultural applications. Its widespread use has meant that Co-60 can be found in less …

Purpose A novel compensator‐based system has been proposed which delivers intensity‐
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with cobalt‐60 beams. This could improve access to …

Methods: EBT3 file calibration-Two EBT3 film batches were calibrated using 5 megavoltage
x-ray beams (two 6 MV, two 15 MV, and an 18 MV). For each film batch, 2× 2.5 cm 2 film …

This work evaluates the radiation shielding capabilities of the PLA-W composite for MV
energy photons emitted by a linear accelerator and the feasibility of manufacturing a …

Purpose Our goal is to develop a novel cobalt-compensator-based IMRT device for low-and
middle-income countries that is reliable and cost-effective while delivering treatment plans of …

Purpose The global cancer burden and mortality rates are increasing, with significant
disparities in access to care in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed …
