Performance characteristics of a widely used orthovoltage x-ray therapy machine.
Experimental results sufficient to provide a data base for the Philips RT 250 x-ray machine are presented. A representative selection of operating conditions covering the working range of the machine from 75 to 250 kVp, were used. Beam quality, depth dose data, field flatness, and filtration characteristics were studied, and selected results are reported.
