Evaluation of dosimetric effect of leaf position in a radiation field of an 80‐leaf multileaf collimator fitted to the LINAC head as a tertiary collimator
This study evaluates changes in the dosimetric characteristics of a Varian Millennium 80-leaf multileaf collimator (MLC) in a radiation field. In this study, dose rate, scatter factor, percentage depth dose, surface dose and dose in the buildup region, beam profile, flatness and symmetry, and penumbra width measurements were made for 6-MV and 15-MV photon beams. Analysis of widths between 50% d...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
The Dosimetric Effects of Different Multileaf Collimator Widths on Physical Dose Distributions
Introduction: Geometric changes in the multileaf collimator (MLC) led to dosimetric considerations in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) due to the number and size of the pixels in the intensity map, which are determined by the MLC leaf width. In this study, we evaluated the dosimetric effects of different MLC widths on physical dose distributions for IMRT plans. Materials and Method...
متن کاملClinico-pathologic Appraisal of Lipomatous Lesions in the Head and Neck Region; a Multicenter Nigerian Study
Lipomatous tumors originate from adipocytes, and represent the largest group of mesenchymal tumors. Lipomas are most likely under reported due to their insidious growth. About 13% of lipomas occur in the head and neck region. When they occur in the maxillofacial region, it is likely for the patients to be referred to the hospital for aesthetical reasons. In this multicenter study, data such as ...
متن کاملDosimetric and qualitative analysis of kinetic properties of millennium 80 multileaf collimator system for dynamic intensity modulated radiotherapy treatments.
The aim of this paper is to analyze the positional accuracy, kinetic properties of the dynamic multileaf collimator (MLC) and dosimetric evaluation of fractional dose delivery for the intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for step and shoot and sliding window (dynamic) techniques of Varian multileaf collimator millennium 80. Various quality assurance tests such as accuracy in leaf positioning...
