Commissioning and acceptance testing of a CyberKnife linear accelerator

Acceptance testing and commissioning of a CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system was performed in April 2006. The CyberKnife linear accelerator produces a photon beam of 6 MV nominal energy, without the use of a flattening filter. Clinically measured tissue–phantom ratios, off‐center ra...

description Acceptance testing and commissioning of a CyberKnife robotic stereotactic radiosurgery system was performed in April 2006. The CyberKnife linear accelerator produces a photon beam of 6 MV nominal energy, without the use of a flattening filter. Clinically measured tissue–phantom ratios, off‐center ratios, and output factors are presented and compared with similar data from other CyberKnife sites throughout the United States. In general, these values agreed to within 2%. PACS number: 87.53.Dq
