چکیده
Daily morning quality assurance (QA) for all available beams using conventional phantom measures only output and beam quality. PTW QUICKCHECKwebline (PTW QCw) is a compact movable light-weight dosimetry equipment used daily QA, capable of measuring flatness, symmetry, constancy given in single exposure. The purpose this study was to analyze monitor the medical linear accelerator QCw assess overall performance QCw. parameters 4, 6 15 MV photon 6, 8, 10, 12 MeV electron Elekta Synergy Kathmandu Cancer Center were analyzed. It found that well within recommended tolerance limit ±3%. Some known modifications settings gantry, couch, collimator introduced separately during exposures, percentage variations from baseline values noted check sensitivity beam. able detect deviations external irradiation conditions both under testing conditions. results suggest dosimetric consistency measurements helps accelerator.

متن کاملRetrospective analysis of linear accelerator output constancy checks using process control techniques
Shewhart control charts have previously been suggested as a process control tool for use in routine linear accelerator (linac) output verifications. However, a comprehensive approach to process control has not been investigated for linac output verifications. The purpose of this work is to investigate a comprehensive process control approach to linac output constancy quality assurance (QA). The...
