Abstract

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study is to analyze the gradient of percentage depth dose for photon and electron beams of LINACs and to simplify the data set. Materials and Methods: Dosimetry measurements were performed in accordance with Technical Reports Series No. 398 IAEA. Results and discussion: The gradient of percentage depth dose was calculated and compared with the available published data. Conclusion: Instead of percentage depth dose for increasing and decreasing parts, the findings suggest using only two numbers for specific gradient of dose, separately. In this way, they can replace the whole set of the percentage depth dose (PDD).

用梯度百分比深度剂量代替百分比深度剂量在电子束和光子束放射治疗中的应用和效益

摘要:本研究的目的是分析光子和电子束的百分比深度剂量梯度，并简化数据集。材料和方法:剂量测定按照国际原子能机构技术报告系列398号进行。结果与讨论:计算了百分比深度剂量梯度，并与已发表的数据进行了比较。结论:增加和减少部分的深度剂量百分比，建议单独使用两个数字来表示剂量的特定梯度。这样，它们就可以代替整套的百分比深度剂量(PDD)。
