Neutron fluence and energy spectra around the Varian Clinac 2100C/2300C medical accelerator.
We have simulated the head geometry of a Varian Clinac 2100C/2300C medical accelerator in a Monte Carlo calculation to produce photoneutrons and transport them through the head shielding into a typical therapy room (modeled by a test cell at Varian Associates). The fast neutron leakage fluence and energy spectra have been calculated at 7 positions around the linac head for typical beam operatio...

متن کاملMonte carlo simulation of varian clinac iX 10 MV photon beam for small field dosimetry
Background: The lack of lateral electronic disequilibrium (LED) becomes a main problem in small field. This factor affects the dose in target volume cannot predict correctly. In addition, utilization of high-energy linear accelerator (10 MV) can emit some unwanted particles (electron contamination). Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize head linear accelerator (linac) Varian Clin...
متن کاملPhysical and Dosimetric Aspect of Euromechanics Add-on Multileaf Collimator on Varian Clinac 2100 C/D
Background:Â Before treatment planning and dose delivery, quality assurance of multi-leaf collimator (MLC) has an important role in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) due to the creation of multiple segments from optimization process.Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the quality control of MLC leaves using EBT3 Gafchromic films.Material and Methods: Leaf Position accur...
متن کاملDevelopment of an accurate Monte Carlo model of the standard Clinac 6MV beam
Purpose Monte Carlo (MC) models of radiotherapy beams can be used as a comparison benchmark for other dose calculation methods. In any such comparison process, the degree to which an identified deviation represents an actual error will depend upon the accuracy of the benchmark. As part of an ongoing dosimetric study, we have sought to model the standard Varian Clinac 6MV beam as accurately as p...
