The selection, acceptance testing, and quality control of radiotherapy treatment simulators.

Abstract:

:The critical aspects of selection, acceptance testing, and quality control of a radiotherapy treatment simulator are discussed. The selection of a simulator involves consideration of: (a) motions and readouts, (b) safety features, (c) x-ray and imaging systems, and (d) mechanical tolerances (including guarantees). When considering motions, it is important to ascertain the extent of each motion, motorization and speed, control location, and the location accuracy, and type of scale. Important questions in x-ray system selection concern (a) x-ray generator ratings and phase, and (b) details of the x-ray tube and image intensification system.
