Instrument to Enable use of Physiologically Relevant Human Clinical Linear Accelerator on Laboratory Mice
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a device that allows a mouse to undergo radiation treatment with a 6 MeV LINAC. The device consists of two major modules, a restraint system that acts as a head immobilizer and anesthetic delivery device for an individual mouse and a platform that secures five of the first modules in place for radiotherapy. This device also provides radiation bolus, a mass of material that modifies the dose of radiation and allows the mouse brain to be within the maximum energy deposition of the LINAC.
