| Abstract:: |
| Objective To study the difference in the measurement of the absorbed dose in water between the dosimetry protocols of IAEA TRS-398 and TRS-277 for high-energy electron beams.Methods The differences were compare in absorbed doses from 6 kinds of electron beams among the three methods of using cylindrical chamber,plane-parallel chamber and cross-calibrated plane-parallel chamber which was calibrated in user’s high-energy electron beam according to IAEA TRS-398 and IAEA TRS-277. Results The difference in absorbed doses measured, following the two protocols, was 0.4%-2.3% for plane-parallel chamber, 0.6%-2.2% for cylindrical chamber,and 0.5%-2.0% for cross-calibrated chamber. The differences in measured absorbed doses between the two dosimetry protocols were slight. Conclusions The methods used to determine absorbed dose to water recommanded by IAEA TRS-398 for high-energy beams are more accurate and more suitable for clinical users to measure compared to the TRS-277. |
