Training activity information
Details
Take accurate measurements to characterise and calibrate a megavoltage photon beam
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Depth doses
- Profiles
- Choice of detectors
- Codes of practice
- Definitive dose calibration
- Baseline measurements for quality assurance
