Abstract:
Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) is a novel concept in radiation oncology with arrays of alternating micrometer-wide high-dose peaks and low-dose valleys. Preclinical experiments have shown a lower normal tissue toxicity for MRT with similar tumor control rates compared to conventional radiotherapy. A promising candidate for the demanded compact radiation source is the line-focus x-ray tube. Here, we present the setup of a prototype for an electron accelerator being able to provide a suitable x-ray...     »
