By using linear accelerators retrofitted with cone attachments, hospitals expanded their pool of patients without having to buy an extra unit.
There are also other, much less common ways of producing radionuclides by using linear accelerators (Mang'era et al., 2015), Van De Graaf accelerators (Jones, Robinson Jr., and McIntyre, 1984) or lasers (Bychenkov, Brantov, and Mourou, 2014).
The treatment was performed using linear accelerators with 6 MV or 15 MV photon beams.
Patients were treated in supine position, using linear accelerators or a racetrack accelerator with two opposing fields or a four-field box technique.
3D-CRT was delivered by using a linear accelerator with 10-MV X-rays, 3 5 beams.
Concurrent radiation therapy was performed after CDDP infusion on days 1 5 by using a linear accelerator (Mevatron KD2, Siemens, Germany), as described previously [ 5].
The dose distributions adopted in the pseudocubic phantom were delivered by using a linear accelerator, and the irradiation fields were measured with a therapy verification film (Kodak, X-Omat V, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, NY, USA) using a standard procedure.
In brief, the TESs were cut into small disks (25 mm in diameter and 5 mg in weight), fixed by a cell-culture ring designed by Zhu et al.41, sterilized by electron-beam irradiation using a linear accelerator (Precise, Elekta, Crawley, U.K). with a total dose of 100 cGy, soaked in the cell culture medium, and placed in a 12-well TCP.
All recipient dogs were conditioned for transplantation by 920 cGy TBI at 7 cGy/minute using a linear accelerator (Varian CLINAC 4, Palo Alto, CA).
Using a linear accelerator, each object is represented by a step on the rising and falling edge of the detector response.
