Custom Blocks Made of Metal Grit for External Electron Beam Therapy

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract—

A new way of producing custom blocks for external electron beam therapy is described. The blocks are made of steel or lead grit uniformly distributed in epoxy resin. The proposed technique is user-friendly, inexpensive, and based on non-toxic materials.
