SU‐FF‐T‐97: Characterization of Amorphous Silicon Flat Panel Imager for Dose Measurements

Purpose: The major objective of the work was to categorize the dosimetric response of a Varian aS500 type Electronic Portal Imaging Device (EPID) for dose measurements. Method and Materials: For a 6MV beam from a Varian 21EX linear accelerator, reproducibility of EPID pixel response, dose rate effect, and cumulative dose linearity were studied. In addition, scatter characteristics and depth doses were also determined using the EPID. A Capintec …
