  • 2. Department of Radiotherapy, IRCH, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (India)

Description

Beam parameter measurements on a recently acquired X-Knife system for its commissioning, with four radiation detectors of different types and sizes was carried out. The data acquired for all the four detectors is presented here. Comparison of the data among the detectors used, as well as with published data is given in order to assess the suitability of each detector for a particular parameter measurement and beam size
