Measurement and comparison of head scatter factor for 9MV photon beam using the build-up cap and a columnar mini-phantom
Introduction: The Sc is an important parameter to monitor unit (MU) calculation in radiation therapy procedure. The aim of this study is to measurement and comparison of head scatter factor (Sc) for 9MV photon beam using the build-up cap and a columnar mini-phantom. Materials and Methods: The measurements performed using a calibrated ion chamber (Scanditron...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Study of Unflattened Photon Beams Shaped by Multileaf Collimator
Introduction: This study investigates basic dosimetric properties of unflattened 6 MV photon beam shaped by multileaf collimator and compares them with those of flattened beams.Materials and Methods: Monte Carlo simulation model using BEAM code was developed for a 6MV photon beam based on Varian Clinic 600 unique performance linac operated with and without a flattening filter in beam line. Dosi...
متن کاملDosimetric Comparison between 6MV Flattened Filter and Flattening Filter Free Photon Beams in the Treatment of Glioblastoma with IMRT Technique: A Treatment Planning Study
Introduction: The present study evaluated the dosimetric comparison between 6MV flattened filter (FF) and flattening filter-free (FFF) photon beams in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) patients. Material and Methods: The present study was conducted on 10 patients with GBM previously...
متن کاملAn Analytical Method to Calculate Phantom Scatter Factor for Photon Beam Accelerators
INTRODUCTION One of the important input factors in the commissioning of the radiotherapy treatment planning systems is the phantom scatter factor (Sp) which requires the same collimator opening for all radiation fields. In this study, we have proposed an analytical method to overcome this issue. METHODS The measurements were performed using Siemens Primus Plus with photon energy 6 MV for fiel...
متن کاملEvaluation of the TrueBeam machine performance check (MPC) beam constancy checks for flattened and flattening filter‐free (FFF) photon beams
Machine Performance Check (MPC) is an automated and integrated image-based tool for verification of beam and geometric performance of the TrueBeam linac. The aims of the study were to evaluate the MPC beam performance tests against current daily quality assurance (QA) methods, to compare MPC performance against more accurate monthly QA tests and to test the sensitivity of MPC to changes in beam...
