Clinical microbeam radiation therapy with a compact source: specifications of the line-focus X-ray tube

Background and purpose: Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) is a preclinical concept in radiation oncology with arrays of alternating micrometer-wide high-dose peaks and low-dose valleys. Experiments demonstrated a superior normal tissue sparing at similar tumor control rates with MRT compared to conventio...
