Characterization of an in vivo diode dosimetry system for clinical use
An in vivo dosimetry system that uses p-type semiconductor diodes with buildup caps was characterized for clinical use on accelerators ranging in energy from 4 to 18 MV. The dose per pulse dependence was investigated. This was done by altering the source-surface distance, field size, and wedge for photons. The off-axis correction and effect of changing repetition rate were also investigated. A ...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولIn Vivo Dosimetry Using a Flat Surface Sun Nuclear Corporation Diode in 60co Beams for Some Radiotherapy Treatments in Ghana
Introduction: One of the useful standard quality assurance techniques in radiation therapy is monitoring entrance doses in in-vivo dosimetry. An overall tolerance limit of 5% of the absorbed radiation dose has been recommended by the International Commission of Radiological Units. The implementation of an in vivo dosimet...
متن کاملIn vivo dosimetry using a single diode for megavoltage photon beam radiotherapy: Implementation and response characterization
The AAPM Task Group 40 reported that in vivo dosimetry can be used to identify major deviations in treatment delivery in radiation therapy. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using one single diode to perform in vivo dosimetry in the entire radiotherapeutic energy range regardless of its intrinsic buildup material. The only requirement on diode selection would be to choose a diode...
متن کاملAchievable accuracy in brain tumors by in vivo dosimetry with diode detectors
ABSTRACT Background: In vivo measurements of applied dose during radiotherapy treatment, is important to ensure accurate dose delivery to patients. Uncertainty in dose delivery should fall within ±5% of the prescribed dose as recommended by ICRU. Assessment of dose for radiotherapy applications performed with various types of detectors. In this study, semiconductor diodes were used which have s...
