Competency information
Details
Measure the depth dose curves and profiles of a MV photon beam and evaluate the effect of chamber design
Considerations
- Characterisation of the photon depth dose curves and profiles and the effect of varying machine parameters
- Choice of the appropriate chamber
- Use of a plotting tank and other measurement media (ie solid water)
