Abstract

Introduction Due to the increasing application of intensity modulating techniques there is nearly no need for the production of photon blocks. However, for special applications they are still useful. Lung shields to avoid pneumonitis after total body irradiation (TBI) are rather common. We demonstrate the production of photon blocks and electron apertures for TBI using a commercial 3D ...
