Determination of beam output factors for the CGR Saturne 2+ linear accelerator beams.
The demands of a busy clinic require that basic machine calculations be performed as accurately, rapidly and simply as possible. Simple method of predicting X-ray and electron beam output factors for rectangular field sizes on machines that have collimation similar to the CGR Saturne 2+ have been described. The calculated field output factors for rectangular and square field sizes were in agreement with measured data to within +/- 1% for all energies.
