Abstract

The surface dose on electron irradiation which is received by the skin does not reach 100%, so a bolus is needed as a compensator material in order to reach or approach 100%. This study aims to create, test, and describe the effect of different thicknesses of boluses that are made of 3D printed TPU, silicone sealant and resin on equivalence with tissue and the percentage of surface dose produced. A bolus with a size of 15x15 cm2 and with variations in thickness of 0.3 cm, 0.5 cm, and 1 cm was imaged by a CT-Scan to analyze the CT-Number value and relative electron density using imageJ software. After that, the bolus was irradiated by a Linac with an energy of 10 MeV and 12 MeV to measure the surface dose using an advances marcus detector. The result of this study showed that 3D printed TPU, silicone sealant and resin are similar to some soft tissues. Silicone sealant has the highest flexibility of the two boluses. In addition, silicone sealant also produces the highest increase in the percentage of surface dose in phantom.

Abstract

Research has been carried out on Measuring and Determining the Output Factors of 6 and 10 MV WFF photon beams in Small Square and Rectangular fields using Semiflex TM 31010 and PintPoint TM 31014 Ionization Chamber. This study aims to determine the value of the small field output factor. Measurements were carried out in a water phantom at a depth of 10 cm with a 100 cm SSD technique. The area of ​​the irradiation field used is (2 × 2; 3 × 3; 4 × 4; 2.5 × 1.6; 3.6 × 2.5; 4.5 × 2; and 5 × 3.2) cm2. Field output factor calculations were performed using the IAEA TRS. 483 dosimetry protocol. The results of measurements and calculations obtained for the two detectors used show that a decrease in the value of the output factor occurs when the field size is getting smaller. The output factor value in a small rectangular field looks smaller when compared to the output factor value in a small square field.
