Commissioning measurements for photon beam data on three TrueBeam linear accelerators, and comparison with Trilogy and Clinac 2100 linear accelerators
This study presents the beam data measurement results from the commissioning of three TrueBeam linear accelerators. An additional evaluation of the measured beam data within the TrueBeam linear accelerators contrasted with two other linear accelerators from the same manufacturer (i.e., Clinac and Trilogy) was performed to identify and evaluate any differences in the beam characteristics between...
متن کاملComparison of measured Varian Clinac 21EX and TrueBeam accelerator electron field characteristics
Dosimetric comparisons of radiation fields produced by Varian's newest linear accelerator, the TrueBeam, with those produced by older Varian accelerators are of interest from both practical and research standpoints. While photon fields have been compared in the literature, similar comparisons of electron fields have not yet been reported. In this work, electron fields produced by the TrueBeam a...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of beam characteristics from small fields based on TrueBeam flattening-filter-free mode
PURPOSE Through the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation of 6 and 10 MV flattening-filter-free (FFF) beams from Varian TrueBeam accelerator, this study aims to find the best incident electron distribution for further studying the small field characteristics of these beams. METHODS By incorporating the training materials of Varian on the geometry and material parameters of TrueBeam Linac head, the 6 an...
متن کاملPhysical characteristics of electron beam from conventional and beam shaper IOERT applicator: A comparison study
Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) is one of the cancer treatment techniques that delivers high doses to tumor bed during surgery. IOERT can be performed by either conventional LINACs or dedicated IORT accelerators such as LIAC (Light Intraoperative Accelerator). Two types of applicators can be used with LIAC dedicated accelerator including conventi...
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...
