Activation Pocesses in Medical Linear Accelerators Activation Processes in Medical Linear Accelerators and Spatial Distribution of Activation Products
Activation products have been identified by in situ gamma spectroscopy at the isocenter of a medical linear accelerators shortly after termination of a high energy photon beam irradiation with 15 x 15 cm field size. Spectra have been recorded either with open or with closed collimator. Whilst some activation products disappear from the spectrum with closed collimator or exhibit reduced count ra...
متن کاملNew Method of Quality Control Test for Light and Radiation Field Coincidence in Medical Linear Accelerators
Introduction: The evaluation of X-ray and light field coincidence in linear accelerators as a quality control test is often performed subjectively, involving the manual marking of films and their visual inspection following the irradiation. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an objective method for the performance of this test leading to the increased levels...
متن کاملMedical Applications of Electron Linear Accelerators
The role of radiation therapy in cancer management is first defined: today among the cancer patients who are cured (≅ 45 %) about one half are cured by radiation therapy applied alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The experience accumulated in decades shows that, to be efficient, the radiation treatment must be delivered with a high physical selectivity. At present, electron l...
متن کاملAssessment of skyshine photon dose rates from 9 and 18 MV medical linear accelerators
Background: Skyshine describes the radiation scattered by the atmosphere above a LINAC facility to a point on the ground. The aim of this study was to measure the skyshine photon dose rates from two different (9 MV and 18 MV) medical linear accelerators. Materials and Methods: The photon beam was directed upward (180° gantry position), with a maximum photon field size (40 × 40 cm2) at the isoce...
متن کاملnon-linear study of various slit shear walls in steel structures
seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...
