Energy and intensity modulated radiation therapy with electrons

Energy and intensity modulated radiation therapy with electrons

In recent years intensity modulated radiation therapy with photons (xIMRT) has gained attention due to its ability to reduce the dose in the tissues close to the tumour volume. However, this technique also results in a large low dose volume. Electron IMRT (eIMRT) has the potential to reduce the inte...
