Calculation of scatter calibrate factor for accelerator of SIMENS with Monte-Carlo method
临床上处方剂量计算时要考虑百分深度剂量(PDD)和总散射校正因子(,S,c,p,)的影响。本研究中利用蒙特卡罗程序(BEAMnrc和DOSXYZnrc)模拟SIEMENS Primus Plus直线加速器6 MV能量的电子束,计算各照射范围内总散射校正因子和百分深度剂量值,并与指形电离室测量值比较,同时计算了总散射校正因子(,S,c,p,)随照射范围和深度的变化。计算结果表明:总散射校正因子随着照射范围的增加而增大,当照射范围,>,10 cm×10 cm时,总散射校正因子随着深度的增加而增大;当照射范围,<,10 cm×10 cm时,总散射校正因子随着深度的增加而减小。利用蒙特卡罗方法可以建立全面准确的散射校正因子资料,为临床放射治疗提供质量保证和质量控制。
Abstract
The effect of percentage depth dose (PDD) and total scatter factor should be inspected in clinical prescription dose calculation. In this study, the simulation of SIEMENS Primus Plus accelerator and calculation of the total scatter calibrate factor (,S,c,p,) and percentage depth dose (PDD) of 6MV electron beam energy was made by use of Monte-Carlo method (BEAMnrc and DOSXYZnrc). And the results were compared with the measured one by use of thimble chamber. What’s more, the effect of radiation field and depth on total scatter calibrate factor (,S,c,p,) of linear accelerator was also calculated in Monte-Carlo method. The results show that the total scatter calibrate factor (,S,c,p,) increases with increment of field size and the scatter calibrate factor (,S,c,p,) increases with the increment of depth when field size is larger than 10 cm×10 cm. However, the total scatter calibrate factor (,S,c,p,) decreases with the increment of depth when field size was smaller than 10 cm×10 cm. It has been confirmed that Monte-Carlo method can establish a comprehensive and accurate information on the scatter calibrate factor for clinical radiotherapy, which may provide more realizable quality assurance and control.
