Absorbed dose dependence of the correction factors for ionization chamber cable irradiation effects.
A simple method was developed, for possible use by hospital physicists, to evaluate the irradiation effects on cables and connectors during large-radiation-field dosimetry with ionization chambers and to determine correction factors for the used system or geometry. This method was based on the absorbed dose dependence of the correction factor.
متن کاملA New Trajectory Correction Technique for Linacs’
In this paper, we describe a new trajectory correction technique for high energy linear accelerators. Current correction techniques force the beam trajectory to follow misalignments of the Beam Position Monitors (BPMs). Since the particle bunch has a finite energy spread and particles with different energies are deflected differently, this causes “chromatic” dilution of the transveise beam emit...
متن کاملAn EGSnrc investigation of correction factors for ion chamber dosimetry
Radiation dosimetry is used to quantify the dose delivered during radiation therapy by using ionization chambers with several correction factors. Knowledge of these factors is needed at well below the 1% level in order to maintain the overall uncertainty on the reference dosimetry near 1-2%. The small magnitude of the corrections renders measurements very difficult. Monte Carlo calculations are...
متن کاملPerturbation correction factors for the NACP-02 plane-parallel ionization chamber in water in high-energy electron beams.
Recent dosimetry protocols for clinical high-energy electron beams recommend measurements of absorbed dose-to-water with a plane-parallel or cylindrical ionization chamber. For well-guarded plane-parallel ionization chambers, the ionization chamber perturbation factor in water, p(Q), has a recommended value of unity in all protocols. This assumption was investigated in detail in this study for ...
متن کاملEvaluation of dosimetry a performance parameter for a homemade farmer-type ionization chamber according to IEC60731
Introduction: Due to its simplicity, fast response and high reliability, ion chamber detectors are one of the most suitable dosimetry instruments for X and gamma rays. The dosimeter of photon beams, which used in radiotherapy centers, requires high accuracy and should pass requirements of IEC 60731 standards. About 80 percent of the IEC 60731 standard tests such as stabil...
