A simple method for electron energy constancy measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A device is described for use in confirming the energy constancy of clinical electron beams. A wedge shaped absorber is placed over an ionization chamber leading to an energy dependent response. A measurement under the energy filter is divided by a measurement in air to correct for the inherent energy dependence of the chamber. A nearly linear response is demonstrated.

متن کاملDetection of electron beam energy variations using a computed radiography system
A method to evaluate the electron beam energy constancy by employing the computed radiography (CR) system has been developed. In this method, a right triangular plastic wedge is used to produce a curve of the CR storage phosphor plate signal versus the wedge thickness. The curve, which resembles the percentage depth ionization curve of the clinical electron beams, can be used to derive the ener...
متن کاملA simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...
متن کاملElectron energy constancy verification using a double‐wedge phantom
Routine constancy checks of electron energy are often time consuming because of the necessity to measure a dose at two depths. A technique is described that uses a double-wedge shaped phantom positioned on a Profiler diode array for measuring an electron energy constancy metric similar to R(50). The double-wedge electron profiles are invariant to phantom alignment in the wedge direction, unlike...
