Abstract:Purpose:
The miniaturized conical cones for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) make it challenging in measurement of dosimetric data needed for commissioning of treatment planning system. This study aims at validating dosimetric characteristics of conical cone collimator manufactured by Varian using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique.
Methods & Material:
Percentage depth dose (PDD), tissue maximum ratio (TMR), lateral dose profile (LDP) and output factor (OF) were measured for cones … Show more
