Abstract:The flexibility in radiotherapy can be improved if patients can be moved between any one of the department's medical linear accelerators (LINACs) without the need to change anything in the patient's treatment plan. For this to be possible, the dosimetric characteristics of the various accelerators must be the same, or nearly the same. The purpose of this work is to describe further and compare measurements and parameters after the initial vendorrecommended beam matching of the five LINACs. Deviations related t… Show more
