Evaluation of a Risk Communication Approach for Maintenance Staff Working with Induced Radioactivity in Medical Linear Accelerators

[Evaluation of a risk communication approach for maintenance staff working with induced radioactivity in medical linear accelerators].

In order to promote consensus building on decommissioning operation rules for medical linear accelerators in Japan, we carried out a risk communication (RC) approach mainly providing knowledge for maintenance staff regarding induced radioactivity. In February 2012, we created a booklet (26 pages) to present an overview of the amended law, the mechanism and the distribution of induced radioactiv...

A model for preemptive maintenance of medical linear accelerators—predictive maintenance

BACKGROUND Unscheduled accelerator downtime can negatively impact the quality of life of patients during their struggle against cancer. Currently digital data accumulated in the accelerator system is not being exploited in a systematic manner to assist in more efficient deployment of service engineering resources. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective process for detecting unexpe...

New Method of Quality Control Test for Light and Radiation Field Coincidence in Medical Linear Accelerators

Introduction: The evaluation of X-ray and light field coincidence in linear accelerators as a quality control test is often performed subjectively, involving the manual marking of films and their visual inspection following the irradiation. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an objective method for the performance of this test leading to the increased levels...
