Description

Radiotherapy begins for a patient with a process of simulation. Since the simulator mechanically duplicates the functions of the therapy unit, that means the mechanical tolerances of the simulator must equal or exceed that of the therapy unit. For accurate dose delivery to the patient in therapy machine, it is necessary that all the parameters of simulator should be evaluated after installation to assure that all mechanical and radiographic specifications are met by that simulator
