Feasibility of using 6 MV photon beams in contrast-enhanced radiotherapy

Abstract: Contrast-enhanced radiotherapy (CERT) is a type of radiation therapy used to enhance the radiation dose absorbed by the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues. The present study aims to assess feasibility of using 6 MV photons to increase radiation absorption in CERT. The dose absorbed by iodinated water was directly measured by ferrosulphate dosimetry. Concentrations of iodine (a dose-enhancing agent) ranged from 2.5 to 50 mg/ml. Solutions were exposed to 5 Gy radiation generated by the clinical line… Show more
