DESCRIPTION:Medical Physics Seminar - Seminario de Física Médica\n\nTitl
 e: Real-time beam monitoring of X-ray radiotherapy treatments.\n\nAuthor:
  Lana Beck\, PhD\n\nAffiliation: School of Physics\, University of Bristol
 .\n\nSummary: X-ray radiotherapy plays a significant role in cancer care\
 , being used alone or alongside other treatments in 50% of treatment plans
 \, curative and palliative. We are developing Monolithic Active Pixel Sens
 ors (MAPS)\, to be placed upstream of the patient\, attached to the head o
 f the radiotherapy linear accelerator (LINAC)\, to monitor treatments in r
 eal time. MAPS are ideal due to their high resolution\, radiation toleranc
 e and fast readout. They can be thinned to <30 um meaning that >99% of the
  therapeutic treatment beam is delivered to the patient. One complication 
 is the electron contamination that arises from the interaction of the X-ra
 y beam with the LINAC collimators and the air\, obscuring the measurement 
 of the X-rays. In this talk I will present methods of overcoming this to m
 easure the dose to the patient\, investigated in GATE/GEANT4 simulations a
 nd experimentally. I will also discuss tracking of the beam collimator pos
 itions in dynamic treatments.\n\n \n\nOnline link: https://conectaha.csic
