Description
The 4 MeV X-ray beam of Limex accelerator has been applied at Warsaw Cancer Centre since 1986. Prior to clinical use, measurements of beam distributions, including beam quality and output dose, were performed. Its results were compared with the beam distributions of Theratron 780C Cobalt-60 unit. Since 1986, periodical quality measurements have been continuously conducted. Five years experience of Limex exploitation indicates that the dose distributions have been time-stable and agreeable for radiotherapy. (author) 6 refs.; 5 figs.; 1 tab
