PURPOSE: This project determined the range of island block geometric configurations useful for the clinical utilization of intensity‐modulated bolus electron conformal therapy (IM‐BECT). METHODS: Multiple half‐beam island block geometries were studied for seven electron energies 7‐20 MeV at 100 and...
