Quantification and reduction of peripheral dose from leakage radiation on Siemens primus accelerators in electron therapy mode
In this work, leakage radiation from EA200 series electron applicators on Siemens Primus accelerators is quantified, and its penetration ability in water and/or the shielding material Xenolite-NL established. Initially, measurement of leakage from 10 x 10 - 25 x 25 cm2 applicators was performed as a function of height along applicator and of lateral distance from applicator body. Relative to ce...

متن کاملThe Quality Control of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for ONCOR Siemens Linear Accelerators Using Film Dosimetry
Introduction Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has made a significant progress in radiation therapy centers in recent years. In this method, each radiation beam is divided into many subfields that create a field with a modulated intensity. Considering the complexity of this method, the quality control for IMRT is a topic of interest for researchers. This article is about the various ...

متن کاملThe measurement of photoneutrons in the vicinity of a Siemens Primus linear accelerator.
This study involves the measurement of photoneutron contamination emitted from a Siemens Primus medical linear accelerator by using BD-PND bubble detectors. Various bubble detectors were arranged around the linac head with the interval of I m and at the same height as the isocenter to measure the dose equivalent distribution in the treatment room. The measurements were performed for 15 MV X-ray...
