Abstract

A Klystron powered dual photon energy electron linear accelerator 2300 C/D from Varian Associates has been installed in our center. From the radiological safety view as well as treatment planning, the output (contamination) of Bremsstrahlung Radiation with electron beam energy determined accurately. It has been found 0.5% to 4.7% with increasing the electron beam energy which is the clinically not much significant in the treatment of the malignant diseases with the treatment of electron beam.
