Development and optimization of a beam shaper device for a mobile dedicated IOERT accelerator

Abstract

The beam shaper device is able to provide square∕rectangular∕squircle fields with adequate dose homogeneity for mobile dedicated accelerators, thus allowing conformal treatment with IOERT. Monte Carlo simulation can be a very useful tool to simulate any clinical set up and can be used to create a data set to calculate MUs, thereby increasing the accuracy of the delivered dose during IOERT procedures.
