  • Title: [A quality assurance program for simulators in radiotherapy. 1: The universal phantom for quality control of therapy simulators and teletherapy equipment].
    Author: Baltas D, Müller-Sievers K, Kober B.
    Journal: Strahlenther Onkol; 1993 May; 169(5):296-303. PubMed ID: 8503089.
    Abstract:
    A new phantom is described which shall be utilized to check geometric parameters of simulators and therapy units. Because of its mechanical assembly technique construction it is possible to use any part of the system fixed on a base plate which has to be adjusted only once. The application of the different parts of the phantom will be illustrated by some check examples on simulators and linacs. An intercomparison of quality control data referring to therapy simulators in various centres of South Germany has been started whereby the usability and reliability of the phantom also will be tested. The preliminary results give objective reasons for its suitability to study generally the performance tolerances of simulators with regard to quality assurance in radiotherapy.
