Abstract :

Today, electron therapy has a lot of advantages such as: its homogenous, dose in the target volume, low absorbed dose for the normal tissues, non-effective transmitted dose of air bubble which surrounded the target (in comparison of photon treatments), controllability in turning on and electron beam flux adjustment during the treatment. It has no interchangeable case in the most treatment centers. Electron can use for up to 20cm depth in radiation therapies. In this study, we demonstrate, for the first time, a design of flexible guider for the electron accelerator output, which may increase the treatment ability effectively. One of the important of its advantages is non-limited ability in treatment of tumors in case of deep depth, in other words overcome to limitation of surface cancer treatment and providing a safe condition for other normal tissues during the radiation therapy.
