摘要：
A uniform electron field is required for medical applications of electron linear accelerators (LINACs). Electron irradiation devices, including scattering foils and applicators for generating uniform electron fields, are widely used in medical LINACs. In this research, an electron scattering device consisting of scattering foils and applicators was designed for clinical application of a 9-MeV electron LINAC planned at the Dongnam Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the depth dose and the beam profile curves in a water phantom by using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code.
