Design and evaluation of electron beam energy degraders for breast boost irradiation
BACKGROUND: For breast cancer patients who require electron boost energies between 6 and 9 MeV, an energy degraders (ED) in the 9 MeV beamline was specially designed and manufactured to increase the skin dose of 6 MeV and to reduce the penetration depth of 9 MeV beams. METHODS: We used Monte Carlo (...
