Direct detection of 6 MV x-rays from a medical linear accelerator using a semiconducting polymer diode.
Recently, a new family of low-cost x-radiation detectors have been developed, based on semiconducting polymer diodes, which are easy to process, mechanically flexible, relatively inexpensive, and able to cover large areas. To test their potential for radiotherapy applications such as beam monitors or dosimeters, as an alternative to the use of solid-state inorganic detectors, we present the dir...
متن کاملMeasurement of stereotactic beam data of 9 MV X-rays using diode detector
Background: Radiosurgery is a focal brain irradiation technique that delivers, usually in a single session, high dose of ionizing radiation. The presence of lateral electronic disequilibrium and steep dose gradients in small fields demands special attention to the selection of a suitable detector with respect to its size, composition and response. Materials and Methods : Small circular fields w...
متن کاملMega Voltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (MV- CBCT) using a Standard Medical Linear Accelerator and EPID: A feasibility study.
Introduction: The success of radiotherapy cancer treatment delivery depends on the accuracy of patient positioning for each treatment session. A number of kilovoltage x-ray volumetric imaging modalities with an additional source and detector have been developed to allow patient set-up verification based on the internal anatomy, but a significant portion of medical linacs are on...
متن کاملDose Rate Influence on Deep Dose Deposition Using a 6 MV X-Ray Beam From a Linear Accelerator
Linear accelerators used in radiation therapy treatments usually provide the capability of irradiating with different dose rates. The medical physicist may choose arbitrary the dose rate to use, although the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) varies with this physical parameter. In this work the measurements of absorbed dose of the x-ray beams from a Varian 6 MV linear accelerator CLINAC 6...
