Technical innovation to calibrate the gantry angle indicators of linear accelerators
Finding the actual zero degree of the gantry angle is important in order to perform the mechanical quality assurance (QA) of linear accelerators. To determine real zero, we must locate a "good surface" which could be defined as a plane on the surface of the gantry head that is perpendicular to the direction of radiation. The actual gantry angle could then be defined as the angle between vertica...
متن کاملDosimetric Effect Resulting From the Collimator Angle, the Isocenter Move, and the Gantry Angle Errors
Introduction: Dose distribution can be affected by diverse parameters, such as beam orientations, and collimator angles. These parameters should respect and maintain the international recommended levels during the realization of the quality assurance protocols of linear accelerators. This study aimed at evaluating the dosimetric effects on treatment quality considering...

متن کاملCalculation the phantom scatter factor for the linear accelerators device
Introduction: In the last few decades, a lot of monte carlo codes have been introduced for medical applications. this is important because through simulation, we are fully independent of the spectral scattering factor that we are not able measure in real terms. The effect of the radiation energy, the dimension of the radiation field, the sensitive volume of the ion chamber on t...
