   Electron therapy

   Electron therapy or Electron Beam Therapy (EBT) is a kind of external beam radiotherapy where electrons are directed to a tumor site. Indications
2. close

   Electron

   Because an electron beam only penetrates to a limited depth before being absorbed, typically up to 5 cm for beams in the range 5–20 MeV, electron therapy is useful for treating skin lesions such as basal cell carcinomas.
3. close

   Particle therapy

   Additionally, electron therapy is generally put in its own category.
4. close

   Mobetron

   A Mobetron, or mobile electron therapy unit, is a device for administering single intraoperative doses of radiation to a patient undergoing tumor excision. ... Mobetron administered electron beam therapy may be considered to be a form of radical curative treatment.

   Adyar Cancer Institute

   The only institute where Intra-operative Electron Therapy is available since 1992.
6. close

   Collimator

   The secondary collimator is positioned after either a flattening filter (for photon therapy) or a scattering foil (for electron therapy).
7. close

   Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy

   IntraOperative Electron Radiation Therapy (or "IOERT") is the application of electron radiation directly to the residual tumor or tumor bed during cancer surgery.
8. close

   Electron microscope

   This is done to prevent the accumulation of static electric fields at the specimen due to the electron irradiation required during imaging.
9. close

   Scanning electron microscope

   Coating prevents the accumulation of static electric charge on the specimen during electron irradiation.

    Radiological Physics Center

    By 1977, electron beam therapy and brachytherapy had been introduced into cooperative studies, and, consequently, the RPC began to audit these modalities routinely.
