FBX aqueous chemical dosimeter for measurement of virtual wedge profiles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigated the ferrous sulfate-benzoic acid-xylenol orange (FBX) aqueous chemical dosimeter for measurement of virtual (dynamic) wedge profiles on a linear accelerator. The layout for irradiation of the FBX-filled tubes mimicked a conventional linear detector array geometry. A comparison of the resulting measurements with film-measured profiles showed that, in the main beam region, the difference between the FBX system and the film system was within +/-2% and that, in the penumbra region, the difference varied from +/-1 mm to +/-2.5 mm in terms of positional equivalence, depending on the size of the dosimeter tubes. We thus believe that the energy-independent FBX dosimetry system can measure virtual wedge profiles with reasonable accuracy at reasonable cost. However, efficiency improvement is required before this dosimetry system can be accepted into routine practice.

F-Box (FBX) proteins are encoded by a multigene family present in major lineages of eukaryotes. A number of FBX proteins are shown to be subunits of SCF complex, a type of E3 ligases composed of SKP1, CULLIN, FBX and RBX1 proteins. The Arabidopsis SKP-LIKE (ASK) proteins are also members of a family and some of them interact with FBX proteins directly. To clarify how FBX and ASK proteins combin...
