| Abstract | A dosimetric evaluation was performed for a set of UMW electron wedges, developed at the University of Miami and manufactured by MED-TEC, Inc., on a Varian CL-2100 CD accelerator. These electron wedges were designed to generate wedged electron beam profiles with virtually no degradation of beam energy. For electron beams ranging from 6 to 18 MeV, depth doses and beam profiles were acquired at various depths including the photon contamination region using a Wellhofer water tank with a 0.14 cc ion chamber. The analysis showed that the changes in beam energy in the wedge filtering process were insignificant (on the order of 0.1 MeV). A maximum of 1.5% increase in X-ray dose was found. Based on the fact that the wedge effect does not introduce significant energy variations across the wedged direction, the Hogstrom electron pencil beam algorithm was used for dose computation with the electron fluence tuned in both wedged and un-wedged directions using scanned profiles at the depth of 0.5 R/sub 90/. Examples of improved dose distribution in oblique beam setup applying these electron wedges are demonstrated. The results show the abilities of these UMW electron wedges in achieving better dose distributions when curved surfaces, oblique beam entries and variable target depths are encountered in electron beam radiotherapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
