Abstract

Intraoral irradiation, the treatment choice for well defined oral-cavity tumors, is done using intraoral cone (IOC) systems. In this study, an IOC system was developed for a Neptun 10PC linac. Beam parameters necessary to plan an intraoral electron treatment were evaluated for two applicators, a flat and a beveled end. Measurements were performed using a Scanditronix (p-Si) diode field detector in a Scanditronix (RFAplus) 3-D (three-dimensional) water phantom. Percent depth dose distributions, beam profiles, and leakage dose distributions for the developed cone system are presented.
