Résumé
Objective To study the percentage depth dose difference (PDD) between Monte Carlo method and the measurement method.Methods Based on the detail treatment head structure designing by the manufacture,the BEAMnrc Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the 6 MV photon beams of a Siemens Primus linear accelerator.DOSXYZnrc program generated 6 MV X-ray parameters such as PDD,and it was measured by MP3 three-dimensional water of PTW corporation phantom.The deviation of PDD was calculated using formulas ((measured value-simulation algorithm value)/measured value × 100％).Results Distance from the surface of the water was less than 1.2 cm,the deviation of PDD was ＞ 2％.Distance from the surface greater than 1.2 cm,the deviation of PDD was ＜ 2％.Conclusion In the built-up areas,PDD obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation algorithm is more accurate.
