TH‐C‐J‐6B‐03: Electron Beam Treatment Verification Using Measured and Monte Carlo Predicted Portal Images

Purpose: In this study, we propose to use the bremsstrahlung part of the electron beam to produce portal images during electron beam treatments. We also investigate the possibility of using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to predict the electron beam portal images and to use these predicted images to v...
