In the last decades accumulated clinical evidence has proven that intra-operative radiation
therapy (IORT) is a very valuable technique. In spite of that, planning technology has not …

Purpose The INTRABEAM system is a miniature accelerator for low‐energy X‐ray Intra‐
Operative Radiation Therapy (IORT), and it could benefit from a fast and accurate dose …

Monte Carlo (MC) is generally considered as the most accurate dose calculation tool for
particle therapy. However, a proper description of the beam particle kinematics is a …

Low energy x-ray intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) is used mostly for breast cancer
treatment with spherical applicators. X-ray IORT treatment delivered during surgery (ex …

Purpose To perform experimental as well as independent Monte Carlo (MC) evaluation of
the MC algorithm implemented in RADIANCE version 4.0. 8, a dedicated treatment planning …

In intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) the energy of the electron beam is
selected under the conventional assumption of water-equivalent tissues at the applicator …

Background: Dosimetry in intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) poses distinct
challenges, especially with inclined applicators deviating from international protocols. Ion …

Background Dose calculations in intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) rely on
