Commissioning: Pre-Measurement Preparation
Sometimes it is the only time that physicists can
extensively
measure
radiation beams and beam modifiers
All in-house dosimetry equipment should be checked for calibration,
accuracy, and availability
Mechanical motion of water tank
Noise and leakage of ionization chambers and diodes
Phantom check
Errors in these phases may affect many patients!
Consider specific
requirements for SRS
and SBRT
