Uncertainties on measurements of absorbed-dose-to-water, from clinical high- energy eletron beams: a comparison with the IAEA protocols
A pilot study was performed to verify the troubles involved in the implementation of dosimetric protocol TRS 398 for absorbed-dose-to-water, using clinical high-energy electron beams and to accomplish an detailed evaluation of uncertainty chain components associated to the measurement, which ones were not treated in the IAEA protocols, aimed the standardization of technical procedures.
متن کاملValidating dose rate calibration of radiotherapy photon beams through IAEA/WHO postal audit dosimetry service.
In external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), the quality assurance (QA) of the radiation beam is crucial to the accurate delivery of the prescribed dose to the patient. One of the dosimetric parameters that require monitoring is the beam output, specified as the dose rate on the central axis under reference conditions. The aim of this project was to validate dose rate calibration of megavoltage p...
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 کاملAAPM'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 کاملAbsorbed Dose Determination in Photon and Electron Beams
The IAEA Code of Practice for Absorbed Dose Determination in Photon and Electron Beams TRS 277 gives recommendations for the absorbed dose determination in high energy photon and electron beams based on the use of ionization chambers calibrated in terms of air kerma. It was the task of the present work to test the validity of the Code for *°Co gamma radiation for ton different types of ionizati...
