ABSTRACT
Objective:
The Lorentz force produced by magnetic field deflects the paths of secondary electrons. The X-ray beam dosimetry characteristics of the magnetic resonance accelerator (MR-Linac) are different from conventional accelerators. The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze the X-ray beam dosimetry characteristics of 1.5T MR-Linac.Methods:
In May 2019, our hospital installed a Unity 1.5T MR-Linac and measured it with magnetic field compatible tools. The measurement indexes include surface dose, maximum dose point depth, beam quality, off-axis dose profile center, beam symmetry, penumbra width, output changes of different gantry angles.Results:
The average surface dose was 40.48%, and the average maximum dose depth was 1.25 cm. The center of the 10 cm×10 cm beam field was offset by 1.47 mm to the x2 side and 0.3 mm to the y2 side. The x-axis symmetry was 101.33%, and the penumbra width on both sides was 6.86 mm and 7.14 mm, respectively. The y-axis symmetry was 100.85%, and the penumbra width on both sides was 5.92 mm and 5.95 mm, respectively. The maximum deviation of output dose with different gantry angles reached 1.50%.Conclusions:
The surface dose of MR-Linac tend to be consistent, and the depth of the maximum dose point became shallower. The off-axis in the x-axis direction was shifted to the x2 side, which resulting in worse symmetry and penumbra asymmetry. The output dose at different angles has obvious variation and needs correction.
