QA of intensity-modulated beams using dynamic MLC log files
To evaluate the utility of Dynalog file information for planar dose verification in IMRT QA, a program is developed to convert Dynalog file data to DMLC field files. For this study, five predefined fluencies are planned and delivered using Varian, Eclipse 3D planning system and 6MV photon beam of Varian, Clinac DMX linear accelerator. To measure planar dose distribution, Kodak, EDR2 films are e...
متن کاملThe impact of MLC transmitted radiation on EPID dosimetry for dynamic MLC beams.
The purpose of this study was to experimentally quantify the change in response of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) to dynamic multileaf collimator (dMLC) beams with varying MLC-transmitted dose components and incorporate the response into a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) EPID prediction model. A combination of uniform intensity dMLC beams and stat...
متن کاملBeam Halo in Proton Linac Beams
We review the present understanding of beam halo in proton linacs. Space-charge forces acting in mismatched beams have been identified as a major cause of beamhalo. We introduce a new description of the halo using the ratio of moments of the distribution of beam coordinates. We describe the beam-halo experiment that is in preparation at Los Alamos, which will address questions about the beam pr...
متن کاملA study on needed or unneeded ReDosimetry and Recomissioning of a linac with Add on MLC by Comparing Dosimetric Data
Introduction: Today different uses of multileaf collimators(MLC) in different techniques of radiotherapy are common. Due to the use of this facility it is possible to have maximum radiation dose to target volumes and minimum radiation dose to critical tissues surronding treatment volumes. But there are numerouse Linear accelerators in IRAN without MLC. Because of high price of...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Siemens Primus plus Linac for 6 and 18 MV Photon Beams
Objective: The aim of the present study is to simulate 6 MV and 18 MV photon beam energies of a Siemens Primus Plus medical linear accelerator (Linac) and to verify the simulation by comparing the results with the measured data.Methods: The main components of the head of Siemens Primus Plus linac were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. To verify the results, experimental data of perce...
