The tracks of the Compton effect.

Abstract:

:The observation of scattered radiations of larger wavelength than the primary had been repeatedly rejected or explained away by many researchers, including Compton. After years of vacillations, he recognized the effect named after him and was the first to develop a quantal equation predicting the wavelength of scattered radiation. It became one of the most significant contributions to modern radiation physics, opening the doors of quantum mechanics.

  • On using 3D γ-analysis for IMRT and VMAT pretreatment plan QA.

    abstract:PURPOSE:To investigate using 3D γ analysis for IMRT and VMAT QA. METHODS:We explored and studied 3D γ-analysis by comparing TPS computed and EPID back-projection reconstructed doses in patient's CT images. Two 3D γ quantities, γ(PTV) and γ(10), were proposed and studied for evaluating the QA results, and compared to 2...
