Irradiation strategy. (a) shows the custom made mouse holder for irradiation in the CT. Two circular lead covers (5 mm thickness) can be adjusted to limit the irradiation area to the size and position of the tumor. (b) shows the dose rates measured by the TLDs (embedded in dead mice in case of the CT). Only minimal dose deposition was measured behind the shielding. In the CT we reached a dose rate of approx. 0.65 Gy/min and in the RS225 of 0.55 Gy/min.
