AAPM's TG-51 protocol for clinical reference dosimetry of high-energy photon and electron beams.
A protocol is prescribed for clinical reference dosimetry of external beam radiation therapy using photon beams with nominal energies between 60Co and 50 MV and electron beams with nominal energies between 4 and 50 MeV. The protocol was written by Task Group 51 (TG-51) of the Radiation Therapy Committee of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and has been formally approved ...
متن کاملGafchromic EBT3 film dosimetry in electron beams — energy dependence and improved film read‐out
For megavoltage photon radiation, the fundamental dosimetry characteristics of Gafchromic EBT3 film were determined in 60Co gamma ray beam with addition of experimental and Monte Carlo (MC)-simulated energy dependence of the film for 6 MV photon beam and 6 MeV, 9 MeV, 12 MeV, and 16 MeV electron beams in water phantom. For the film read-out, two phase correction of scanner sensitivity was appli...
متن کاملVerification of dose rate and energy dependence of MAGICA polymer gel dosimeter with electron beams
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dependency of MAGICA polymer gel dosimeter response (R2) on different electron energies as well as on different mean dose rate for a standard clinically used linear accelerator. Materials and Methods: The sensitivity of the dosimeter was represented by the slope of calibration curve in the linear region measured for each modalit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Electron Contamination in Cancer Treatment with Megavoltage Photon Beams: Monte Carlo Study
Background: Megavoltage beams used in radiotherapy are contaminated with secondary electrons. Different parts of linac head and air above patient act as a source of this contamination. This contamination can increase damage to skin and subcutaneous tissue during radiotherapy. Monte Carlo simulation is an accurate method for dose calculation in medical dosimetry and has an important role in opt...
متن کاملA M Ller Polarimeter for High Energy Electron Beams
A single arm M ller polarimeter used to measure the longitudinal beam polarization of the 48 GeV electron beam for SLAC xed target experiment E{154 is described. The polarimeter utilizes an array of silicon strip detectors and a dipole magnetic spectrometer to detect M ller scattered electrons from magnetized Fe-Co alloy target foils. The details of the foil polarization measurements and analys...
