Abstract
Purpose : Daily Q.A is the important step which must be preceded in a radiation treatment. Specially, radiation output measurement and laser alignment, SSD indicator related to a patient set-up recurrence must be confirmed for a reasonable radiation treatment. Daily Q.A proceeds correctness and a prompt way, and needs an objective measurement basis. Manufacture of the device which can facilitate confirmation of output measurement and appliances check at one time was requested. Materials and Methods : Produced the phantom formal daily check device which can confirm a lot of appliances check (output measurement and laser alignment. field size, SSD indicator) with one time of set up at a time, and measurement observed a linear accelerator (4 machine) for four months and evaluated efficiency. Results : We were able to confirm an laser alignment, field size, SSD indicator check at the same time, and out put measurement was possible with the same set up, so daily Q.A time was reduced, and we were able to confirm an objective basis about each item measurement. As a result of having measured for four months, output measurement within
목 적 : 방사선 치료의 성적 향상과 안정성, 정확성을 위해 시행되고 있는 정도관리는 치료과정의 오류를 사전 점검하기 위해 무엇보다 우선되어야 할 항목이다. 최근 방사선 치료기술이 3차원적으로 다양화되면서 정도관리의 중요성이 증대되고 있으며, 일일 정도관리 시 업무능률 향상을 위하며 체계적이고 신속한 방법이 요구되었다. 이에 본원에서는 일일 점검항목을 동시에 확인할 수 있는 Device를 자체 제작하여 그 효율성을 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 출력선량, laser alignment, field size, SSD indicator 점검을 한 번의 set up으로 시행할 수 있도록 device의 전면중앙 아크릴판 (가로
