2 Fig. 1 Medical linear accelerator used to generate and deliver external beam radiation therapy. Dermatologic Clinics  , DOI: ( /j.det ) Copyright © 2015 The Authors Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Plot of percentage of radiation dose (%) versus depth (mm) for various electron beam energies from 6 to 22 MeV. Dermatologic Clinics  , DOI: ( /j.det ) Copyright © 2015 The Authors Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 Method of local electron beam radiation therapy to cutaneous lymphoma lesions. A margin is drawn around visible or palpable disease (A). A lead cutout is created conforming to the target volume (B). The patient is positioned on the treatment table and the electron beam therapy is delivered by a medical linear accelerator (C). Note the bolus material placed over the cutaneous lesion that ensures the maximum dose is delivered to the skin surface (arrow).
