ABSTRACT
The transportation of electron is inseparable from vacuum environment. The maintenance of the vacuum system of Elekta linear accelerator depends on two sputtering ionic pumps at the gun end and the target end. The traveling wave acceleration were used in Elekta linear accelerators. And the design of the electron gun filament is detachable. Because of these two reasons, the vacuum stability is relatively weak. Only two vacuum values are used to reflect the operation state of the whole vacuum system, which causes a few failures but will not trigger a the machine interlock. Considering the complexity of whole vacuum system, the problem of vacuum caused by the failure of various components in vacuum system is analyzed in this paper. It is hoped that some useful repairing experience and suggestions for the maintenance engineers of linear accelerator to solve the vacuum fault and rebuild the vacuum can be provided quickly.

Objective To develop a new automatic detection algorithm of the diaphragm motion based on Canny edge detection and wavelet transform.Methods On-line fluoroscopic images under free breathing were enhanced by using the wavelet transform.After the wavelet transform,edge detection was carried out for the enhanced image.Canny edge detection algorithm was used to achieve the diaphragm edge.Programs were written in Matlab to track the position of the diaphragm.The diaphragm movement curves were derived to evaluate the characteristics of patients respiratory motion.Results Under calm free breathing,the amplitude and period of diaphragm motion acquired by means of the wavelet transform and Canny edge detection were in good agreement with manual measurement.There were six to seven respiratory cycles in a XVI MotionViewTM.The magnitude of diaphragm movement was not exactly the same in the cranio-caudal (CC) direction.The magnitude was from 6.7 mm to 8.0 mm with an average of 7.4 mm.The movements of the respiratory motion cycles had little variations in amplitude and period for the same patient between fractions except emotional excitement or cough.Conclusions The automatic diaphragm detection methods developed in this paper are precise,and can effectively reflect the characteristics of the respiratory motion.The method can save much time and improve the measure precision greatly compared with the manual measurement.
