Medical Electron Accelerators

Description

The emphasis in this book is on the design and principles of operation of microwave electron linear accelerators for the treatment of cancer. Associated equipment and accessories in the radiotherapy clinic are described, such as simulators, treatmentplanning units, radiotherapy management systems, multileaf collimators, and electronic portal imagers. Other electron accelerators, including rnicrotrons, betatrons, and direct accelerators, are also discussed. The intended audience for this book includes medical physicists and engineers, radiation technologists, radiation oncologists and residents, hospital and radiology administrators, design and service engineers, as well as university students in physics and engineering. A knowledge of the various engineering tradeoffs in machine design can assist users in the initial selection of the appropriate machine for their application. An understanding of the principles of accelerator operation and their application promotes confidence in their more effective use. This book is useful directly as a teaching aid for physicists and engineers in training, medical residents, and radiation therapy technologists. The book is particularly designed for study by persons without extensive knowledge and experience of accelerator technology. It is also organized to serve as a ready reference. We have assumed on the part of the reader only a knowledge of elementary physics and mathematics. Emphasis is placed on how accelerators function and how they are used in the treatment of cancer. Illustrations, tables, and analogies are abundantly used for clarity to the nonspecialist. A solid theoretical base is provided for the specialist by descriptive text and illustration. The subject matter includes a history of development and application, general theory of acceleration, accelerator systems, radiation beam systems and associated equipment, performance characteristics, testing, and use. The major modules of a representative medical accelerator are described, including the principles of operation, and how these modules function collectively to produce electron and x-ray beams for radiotherapy
