Interpretation of In-air Output Ratio of Wedged Fields in Different Measurement Conditions
Introduction: The head scatter factor (Sc) is one of the important parameters for monitor unit (MU) calculation. There are multiple factors that impact the Sc values, such as, head structures, back scattering in to dose monitoring chambers, wedges and so on. This study aimed to investigate the variations of SC with different build-up cap materials, wall thickness, Source to ...
متن کاملMeasurement Of Scatter Factors For Small Photon Fields Using Gaf chromic EBT2 Film
Introduction: Small field dosimetry is challenging for radiotherapy dosimetry. measurement of the output factor in the air and water (Sc, Scp) is one of the input parameters for commissioning of treatment planning systems and beam modeling. The aims of this study are to measured Sc,Scp for small fields with EBT2 and Ion chamber and design a appropriate mini-phantom for small fi...
متن کاملOff-axis primary-dose measurements using a mini-phantom.
The characterization of the incident photon beam is usually divided into its dependence on collimator setting (head-scatter factor) and off-axis position (primary off-axis ratio). These parameters are normally measured "in air" with a build-up cap thick enough to generate full dose build-up at the depth of dose maximum. In order to prevent any influence from contaminating electrons, it has been...
متن کاملInterpretation of in-air output ratio and its impact on Dose Calculation
The concept of in-air output ratio (Sc) was introduced to characterize how the incident photon fluence per monitor unit (or unit time for a Co-60 unit) varies with collimator settings. 2 This quantity is also called inair output factor, collimator-scatter factor, and headscatter factor. 6 The latter two names were somewhat misleading since they emphasized a single component of the output ratio....
متن کاملCalculation 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...
