Purpose: The authors report comprehensive commissioning and quality assurance (QA) procedures for Intrabeam, Intra-Operative radiotherapy (IORT) unit. The Intrabeam system miniature X-ray source is a 50 kV and 40 μA unit. Methods: The authors’ tests include measurements of output, beam deflection, isotropy, kVp and mAs measurements, quality index, isodose, reproducibility, linearity, depth dose...

PURPOSE Analyze the characteristics of TLD LiF-100 powder between multiple LiF crystal batches. METHODS The RPC used TLD LiF-100 encapsulated powder to verify the output for photon and electron beams for 4 to 23 MV X-ray beams and 6 to 23 MeV electron beams, respectively, from the past 15 years. During that time period, the RPC commissioned more than 15 batches of TLD powder. Commissioning of...

The capability of the TrueBeam treatment system to deliver step and shoot IMRT plans at low dose rates was evaluated. Beam characteristics during low dose rates (5 to 100 MU/min) were evaluated for consistency using a planar ion chamber array. MU constancy, linearity, and beam profile symmetry were all found to be equivalent within 0.5%. The response of the Scandi Dos Delta 4 system was also ev...

The Delta4 3D dose verification device was commissioned in the current work for pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) plans. The cross calibration and relative array calibration were performed to enable absolute dose comparison. The linearity of response with dose and temperature sensitivity tests were also co...

introduction quality control techniques used to test the components of the radiological system and verify that the equipment is operating satisfactorily. in this study, quality control (qc) assessment of conventional radiology devices was performed in frequently visited radiology centers of khuzestan province, iran. materials and methods fifteen conventional radiology devices were examined, bas...

In this work we prove that, given a simplicial graph Γ $\Gamma$ and family G $\mathcal {G}$ of linear groups over domain R $R$ , the product $\Gamma \mathcal is [ t ̲ ] $R[\underline{t}]$ where $\underline{t}$ tuple finitely many linearly independent variables. As consequence, obtain that any complex numbers again group numbers. This solves an open problem Hsu Wise (Michigan Math. J. 46 (1999), ...
