AB  - This experiment investigates the effects of using electron beam Cerrobend contact skin collimators in combination with thin metallic scatter foils on electron beam depth dose distribution and isodose curves for small electron fields. The premise is to provide a clinically more uniform treatment for small superficial lesions. This is a test of concept that could potentially open the door for the development of novel electron beam therapy technique applicable for clinical use. The ultimate goal is to produce a quickly accessed, easy to fabricate, reusable device for clinical use with current linear accelerators without the need to modify the design of current linear accelerators? built-in scatter foils or make any other changes to the machine.
