Visualization of dose distribution in intraoperative electron beam Radiotherapy based on ultrasound images.

CONCLUSIONS: Using up-to-date ultrasound tissue images allows better treatment optimization compared to the previous method that uses pre-surgery scans (CT or MRI). It helps optimize the angle of the beam axis and choose the beam with adequate range (energy) and avoid the risk of inaccurate irradiation of the area of interest.
