Description

The research determined an excitence of correction openings leaf for treatment, and the distribution dose using Gafchromic RTQA2 film. This was about MLC's correction based on result of movement leaf and field irradiating uniform was done. Methods of research was conduct an irradiating on Gafchromic RTQA2 film based on the index planning homogeneity philosophy, openings leaf and wide leaf. The result of film was lit later in scan. It was continued to include image of the software scanning into matlab. From this case, the image of films common to greyscale image and analysis on the rise in doses blackish films. In this step, we made a correlation between the doses and determine the homogenity to know film dosimetri used homogeneous, and correction of openings leaf and wide leaf. The result between pixel and doses was linear with the equation y = (-0,6)x+108 to low dose and y = (-0,28)x + 108 to high doses and the index of homogeneity range of 0,003 – 0,084. The result homogeneous and correction distribution doses at the openings leaf and wide leaf was around 5% with a value still into the suggested tolerance from ICRU No.50 was 10%. (paper)
