60Co治疗机散射校正因子的蒙特卡罗计算

Calculation of Scatter Calibration Factor for 60Co Therapy Unit With Monte-Carlo Method

  • 摘要: 利用蒙特卡罗程序MCNP模拟计算了60Co治疗机的3种散射校正因子,并计算了总散射校正因子Sc,p与模体散射校正因子Sp随射野及深度的变化。计算结果表明:散射校正因子计算结果与测量结果符合较好;Sc,p与Sp随射野的增大而增大;射野大于10 cm×10 cm 时,Sc,p与Sp有随着深度的增加而增大的总趋势;射野小于10 cm×10 cm时,Sc,p与Sp有随深度增加而减小的总趋势。因此,在计算处方剂量时不可忽略散射校正因子的影响。利用蒙特卡罗方法可建立1组准确和全面的散射校正因子,为放射治疗临床使用、质量保证和质量控制提供依据。

     

    Abstract: Three scatter calibration factors of 60Co therapy unit were calculated by using Monte-Carlo method. The effects of radiation field and depth to total scatter calibration factor Sc,p and the phantom scatter calibration factor Sp of 60Co therapy unit were also calculated. The calculating results agree well with the measuring results. Sc,p and Sp increase with the increasing of the fields. Sc,p and Sp have increasing trend with depth increasing while beam field larger than 10 cm×10 cm. Sc,p and Sp have decreasing trend with depth increasing while beam field smaller than 10 cm×10 cm. Scatter calibration factor is not be overlooked in calculating the prescription dose. Monte-Carlo method is able to establish a set of accurate and comprehensive scatter calibration factor, and provides the basis of clinical use, quality assurance and quality control for radiotherapy.
