[Device for forming the shaped brehmsstrahlung fields of the B5M25 betatron].

The betatron B5M25 bremsstrahlung is formed only by a rectangularly shaped diaphragm, which results in excessive irradiation of healthy tissues surrounding the pathological focus. An appliance in the form of an additional diaphragm with inserted shaped units (blocks) fastened to the proper betatron diaphragm and permitting formation of a dose field in conformity with the pathological focus outlines has been constructed. The design of the appliance helps avoid "contamination" of the bremsstrahlung beam with electrons and second generation Compton quanta.
