Description
The demands of a busy clinic require that basic machine calculations be performed as accurately, rapidly and simply as possible. Simple method of predicting X-ray and electron beam output factors for rectangular field sizes on machines that have collimation similar to the CGR Saturne 2+ have been described. The calculated field output factors for rectangular and square field sizes were in agreement with measured data to within ±1% for all energies. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die Erfordernisse der klinischen Praxis verlangen eine moeglichst genaue, schnelle und einfache Berechnung der Apparate-Parameter. Fuer Apparate, deren Kollimatoren dem eGR Saturne 2+ entsprechen, wurde eine einfache Methode zur Bestimmung der Roentgen- und Elektronenstrahlaustrittsfaktoren bei rechteckigen Feldgroessen beschrieben. Die errechneten Austrittsfaktoren fuer rechteckige und quadratische Felder stimmten bei allen Strahlenenergien innerhalb von ±1% mit den Messwerten ueberein. (orig.)Additional details
