Output trends, characteristics, and measurements of three megavoltage radiotherapy linear accelerators
The purpose of this study is to characterize and understand the long-term behavior of the output from megavoltage radiotherapy linear accelerators. Output trends of nine beams from three linear accelerators over a period of more than three years are reported and analyzed. Output, taken during daily warm-up, forms the basis of this study. The output is measured using devices having ion chambers....
متن کاملCommissioning 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 کاملPhotoneutrons from medical linear accelerators--radiobiological measurements and risk estimates.
PURPOSE To assess the oncogenic potential of the photoneutrons produced by high energy medical linear accelerators. METHODS AND MATERIALS An established line of cells of rodent origin (C3H 10T1/2) was used to assess the oncogenic potential of the radiation dose received in the breast of an anthropomorphic "randoman" phanton, while the cervix received a dose of 70 Gy. Experiments were performe...

15 صفحه اولSystematic Testing of Radiotherapy Accelerators
The nature of radiotherapy accelerators is briefly explained. It is argued that these complex safety-critical systems need a systematic basis for testing their software. The paper describes a novel application of protocol specification and testing methods to radiotherapy accelerators. It is explained that the accelerator control system is specified using LOTOS (Language Of Temporal Ordering Spe...
