MOD DOSE-R

For the dose profiles in electron and photon modes, these automated analyses calculate:

• The size of the homogenous area, the homogeneity, the symmetry and the maximum deviation;
• The field size, the penumbrae, the field centre offset;
• The slope of the wedge filter (only in photon mode).

For the depth dose curves in electrons, these automated analyses are performed on ionization curves or on dose curves calculated by the DOSE-R module. These analyses cover:

• The extrapolated dose at the surface and the X-Ray contamination dose;
• The mean energy and the most probable energy at the surface: Eo and Epo;
• The quality index;
• The ranges at 50% and 100 % of dose, the therapeutic and practical ranges: R50, R100, Rt, Rp;
• The exit dose gradient …

The analyses of depth dose curves in photon mode calculate:

• The dose at the surface, at 50, 100 and 200 mm;
• The quality index;
• The ranges at 50% & 100 % of dose …

Finally, for all types of relative dose measurements, and particularly for measurements made on beams without  flattening filters (FFF), the module also enables you to make a comparison in GAMMA or CHI index or in DELTA envelope (whichever you prefer) relative to reference curves previously identified by you.

These tests are very comprehensive but it is up to the super-user to decide which tests he wishes to enable.
