The safety of low melting point bismuth/lead alloys: a review.
Med. Dosim. 16(1) , 13-8, (1991) Low melting temperature bismuth alloys that contain about 20% to 25% lead and 10% cadmium are widely used in radiotherapy to construct shielding blocks. Since 1980, five papers have addressed questions concerning potential metal toxicity, safe shop practices,... |

Compensators for intensity-modulated beams.
Med. Dosim. 27(3) , 215-20, (2002) This study describes the importance of attenuator scatter in the construction of compensators. The attenuator used in this study was Lipowitz metal, commonly referred to as cerrobend. Linear attenuation coefficients of cerrobend were measured in air for diffe... |

Reduction of the scatter dose to the testicle outside the radiation treatment fields.
Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys. 8(10) , 1741-5, (1982) A technique is described to reduce the dose to the contralateral testicle of patients with testis tumors during retroperitoneal therapy with 10 MV X rays. When a conventional clam-shell shielding device was used, the dose to the testis from the photons scatte... |
