Study of technical and economic feasibility of using a portal dosimetry system for quality control of linear accelerators

Creators

Description

We have studied the feasibility of Varian portal vision system AS500-II, dosimetry calibration mode, as a substitute for radiochromic plates in quality control tests that required the use of such film. Over a period of two months have been analyzed both the dosimetric characteristics of the system and the mechanical positioning. In addition there has been a financial estimate of annual savings that would result from replacing the radiochromic film by the portal system in a multi-energy accelerator.
