Survey of 5 mm small‐field output factor measurements in Australia
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) held a comparison exercise in April 2016 where participants came to ARPANSA and measured the output factor of a nominal 5 mm cone attached to the ARPANSA Elekta Synergy (Elekta, Crawley, UK) linear accelerator. The goal of the exercise was to compare the consistency and methods used by independent medical physicists in meas...
متن کاملDetector comparison for small field output factor measurements in flattening filter free photon beams.
PURPOSE The applicability of various detectors for small field dosimetry and whether there are differences in the detector response when irradiated with FF- and FFF-beams was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Output factors of 6 and 10 MV FF- and FFF-beams were measured with 14 different online detectors using field sizes between 10 × 10 and 0.6 × 0.6 cm(2) at a depth of 5 cm of water in is...
متن کاملManagement of small (3-5-mm) pulmonary nodules at chest CT: global survey of thoracic radiologists.
PURPOSE To prospectively determine management strategies used by international thoracic radiologists in evaluation of small (3-5-mm) pulmonary nodules at chest computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board exemption was granted for this study, which included consenting participants. An electronic survey was sent to members of major thoracic radiology societies in ...
متن کاملSmall field size dose-profile measurements using MAGIC- f polymer gel dosimeter and EBT3 film dosimeter
Introduction: In radiotherapy, treatment planning methods are evaluating and transforming every day, so precision in calculation and determination of dose delivery process is performing more important role in radiotherapy than past. In modern radiotherapy treatments, deramatically increase of small fields utilization, causes the polymeric gels has known as the most reliable dos...
متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
