Small field electron beam dosimetry using MOSFET detector
The dosimetry of very small electron fields can be challenging due to relative shifts in percent depth-dose curves, including the location of dmax, and lack of lateral electronic equilibrium in an ion chamber when placed in the beam. Conventionally a small parallel plate chamber or film is utilized to perform small field electron beam dosimetry. Since modern radiotherapy departments are becomin...
متن کاملDosimetry for Small, Irregular and Rectangular Field Size for Electron Beam Therapy
Purpose: This study was to investigate the effect of irregularity in shape of field size of electron beam on the percentage depth dose and the output factor. Study the variety of the Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and the output factors for rectangular and small field sizes when one of field dimensions less than the Practical Range (Rp) of the electron energy used. Compare the measured output fact...
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 کاملProton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملElectron Beam Dosimetry in Heterogeneous Phantoms Using a MAGIC Normoxic Polymer Gel
Introduction: Nowadays radiosensitive polymer gels are used as a reliable dosimetry tool for verification of 3D dose distributions. Special characteristics of these dosimeters have made them useful for verification of complex dose distributions in clinical situations. The aim of this work was to evaluate the capability of a normoxic polymer gel to determine electron dose distributions in differ...
