Sensitivity analysis of the intergral quality monitoring system® for radiotherapy verification using Monte Carlo simulation
(University of the Free State, 2017-07)
Advanced radiotherapy (RT) techniques have improved the quality of radiation treatment. Notwithstanding, advanced RT techniques have generated complexities in their quality assurance (QA). Therefore, there is a huge interest ...
Characterization of small megavoltage photon beams for radiography
(University of the Free State, 2017-07)
English: Introduction
The landscape of radiation treatment techniques is ever evolving in pursuit of improved target
coverage. The latest techniques such as IMRT, SBRT, SRS and VMAT, provide improved target
coverage by ...
Commissioning and optimization of a total skin electron therapy technique using a high rate electron facility
(University of the Free State, 2007-06)
English: Total skin electron therapy (TSET) is the treatment of choice for several malignant

Optimisation of delivery efficiency in prostate intensity modulated radiotherapy planning
(University of the Free State, 2016-02)
English: Evidence that supports dose escalation for prostate cancer is growing and with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) higher conformal target doses can be delivered. With more segments and higher monitor ...
Development of a particle source model for a synergy linear accelerator to be used in Monte Carlo radiation dose calculations for cancer therapy
(University of the Free State, 2014-05)
English: In oncology patients are treated for cancer with various methods such as surgery, chemo
therapy and radiation therapy. Accurate radiation treatment planning and dose delivery to the
tumour is necessary for the ...
Verification of a commercial treatment planning system based on Monte Carlo radiation dose calculations in intensity modulated radiation therapy
(University of the Free State, 2015-01)
English: Cancer treatment with external beam radiotherapy using the specialized technique of intensity modulation is a complex modality. The Treatment Planning System (TPS) is responsible for accurate calculation of dose ...
