Calculation the phantom scatter factor for the linear accelerators device
Introduction: In the last few decades, a lot of monte carlo codes have been introduced for medical applications. this is important because through simulation, we are fully independent of the spectral scattering factor that we are not able measure in real terms. The effect of the radiation energy, the dimension of the radiation field, the sensitive volume of the ion chamber on t...
متن کامل[Approximation of collimator scatter factor Sc by a saturation model].
To more easily estimate accurate values of collimator scatter facor, S(c), we suggest a two-component saturation model that accounts for scatter from the primary collimator and flattening filter and from the collimator jaws. This model, which assumes an exponential distribution of scatter intensity, was tested by in-air measurements using a mini-phantom for 4 MV and 10 MV X-rays of a Clinac 210...
متن کامل[Estimation of the phantom scatter factor (Sp) of rectangular fields].
This study proposes a method to accurately estimate the phantom scatter factor (Sp) of arbitrary rectangular fields. We measured output doses in water and air; these measured values were based on square fields and a limited number of symmetric rectangular fields using 4 MV and 10 MV X-rays of a Varian Clinac-iX. We calculated Sp from these measured values. Then, using these Sp values, we estima...
متن کاملMeasurement 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 کاملMultimodal x-ray scatter imaging
We describe a small-angle x-ray scattering-based imaging technique that reveals the distribution and orientation of nano-scale structures over extended areas. By combining two measurement and analysis schemes, complementary structural information is available which renders the technique suitable for a broad range of applications, e.g. in materials science and bioimaging. Through a combination o...
