title: Radiological safety features of indigenously developed radiotherapy simulator.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the radiological safety feature of indigenously developed radiotherapy simulator.
  
  
  METHODS
  A comprehensive study for radiological safety features of the unit were carried out as per the standard protocol/guidelines. NERO mAx X-ray test device was used for KVp, mA, mAs, and X-rays output related test of the units along with other required test device.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All the measurement results indicate that all the tested parameters of this simulator are well within the prescribed tolerance limit.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The simulator is safe for routine clinical use.
