Abstract:Purpose: Wedged beam are often used in clinical radiotherapy to compensate missing tissues and dose gradients. The Elekta Precise linear accelerator supports an internal motorized wedge, which is a single large, physical wedge on a motorized carriage. In this study, the dosimetric performance of Elekta precise three dimensional treatment planning system (3DTPS) is evaluated by comparing the calculated and measured doses. Methods: The calculations were performed by the 3DTPS for symmetric as well as asymmetric … Show more
