[Estimation of Primary Electron Beam Parameters of Individual Linear Accelerator Using Monte Carlo Method].
Objective: To estimate the primary electron beam parameters (PEB), including energy, radial intensity distribution and average angular divergence, of the individual linear accelerator using the Monte Carlo method.
Methods: A model of the treatment head and a standard field were built by BEAMnrc, and the dose distribution was simulated in water phantoms by DOSXYZnrc to obtain the percentage depth dose curve and off-axis ratio. By debugging the parameters mentioned above until the simulation and measurement results could match.
Results: The simulation and measurement results could achieve the best match when the parameters mentioned above were 6.25 MeV, 0.95 mm and 0.1° respectively.
Conclusion: The PEB of a linear accelerator could have a significant impact on the output beam characteristics. Monte Carlo estimation is one of the most crucial steps in establishing an individual linear accelerator model.
