چکیده
background: two protocols of aapm tg-51 and iaea trs-398 were compared followed by a measurement and monte carlo simulation of beam quality correction factor, kq, aapm tg-51 and iaea trs-398 protocols were compared for the absorbed dose to water for dw, and kq parameters. materials and methods: dose measurements by either protocols were performed with cylindrical and plane parallel chambers for 6 and 18 mv photons, and 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 mev electron clinical beams were traced to the calibration factor of iranian secondary standard dosimetry laboratory. mcnp-4c simulation of depth doses, beam profiles and kq factors were validated typically for 18 mv and 12 mev beams by experimental measurements. results: the differences between simulation and measurements were 0.07% for beam profile, -2.60% and 1.19% for 12 mev build up and linear portion of the depth dose curve, respectively. the figures of merit for 18 mv were about -4.17%, - 1.62% and 0.38%. the differences of kq's between simulation and measurement of 12 mev, and 18 mv beams for tg-51 were -0.194% and 0.169%, and for trs-398, they were about -0.465% and 0.097%, respectively. conclusion: these differences between the two dosimetry protocols (iaea trs-398 & aapm tg-51) from the point of absolute dosimetry were not significant at least when they were used under the same calibration procedure. the good agreement between monte carlo and measurement may also be even more important regarding the contribution into the development of radiotherapy treatment planning system, based on monte carlo procedures. iran. j. radiat. res., 2012 10(1): 43-51

A Comparison of dosimetric parameters between IAEA TRS-398, AAPM TG-51 protocols and Monte-Carlo simulation
Background: Two protocols of AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398 were compared followed by a measurement and Monte Carlo simulation of beam quality correction factor, KQ, AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398 protocols were compared for the absorbed dose to water for DW, and KQ parameters. Materials and Methods: Dose measurements by either protocols were performed with cylindrical and plane parallel ch...
متن کاملComparison of AAPM Addendum to TG‐51, IAEA TRS‐398, and JSMP 12: Calibration of photon beams in water
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Working Group on TG-51 published an Addendum to the AAPM's TG-51 protocol (Addendum to TG-51) in 2014, and the Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP) published a new dosimetry protocol JSMP 12 in 2012. In this study, we compared the absorbed dose to water determined at the reference depth for high-energy photon beams following the recom...
متن کاملComparison of IPSM 1990 photon dosimetry code of practice with IAEA TRS‐398 and AAPM TG‐51.
Several codes of practice for photon dosimetry are currently used around the world, supported by different organizations. A comparison of IPSM 1990 with both IAEA TRS-398 and AAPM TG-51 has been performed. All three protocols are based on the calibration of ionization chambers in terms of standards of absorbed dose to water, as it is the case with other modern codes of practice. This comparison...
متن کاملComparison between TG-51 and TRS-398: electron contamination effect on photon beam-quality specification.
Two dosimetry protocols based on absorbed dose to water have recently been implemented: TG-51 and TRS-398. These protocols use different beam-quality indices: %dd(10)x and TPR20,10. The effect of electron contamination in measurements of %dd(10)x has been proposed as a disadvantage of the TG-51. For actual measurements of %dd(10)x in five clinical beams (Primus 6-18 MV, SL-75/5 6 MV, SL-18 6-15...
متن کاملReference Dosimetry according to the New German Protocol DIN 6800-2 and Comparison with IAEA TRS 398 and AAPM TG 51*
The preceding DIN 6800-2 (1997) protocol has been revised by a German task group and its latest version was published in March 2008 as the national standard dosimetry protocol DIN 6800-2 (2008 March). Since then, in Germany the determination of absorbed dose to water for high-energy photon and electron beams has to be performed according to this new German dosimetry protocol. The IAEA Code of P...
متن کاملComparison of the recommendations of the AAPM TG‐51 and TG‐51 addendum reference dosimetry protocols
This work quantified differences between recommendations of the TG-51 and TG-51 addendum reference dosimetry protocols. Reference dosimetry was performed for flattened photon beams with nominal energies of 6, 10, 15, and 23 MV, as well as flattening-filter free (FFF) beam energies of 6 and 10 MV, following the recommendations of both the TG-51 and TG-51 addendum protocols using both a Farmer® i...
