С этой целью проводятся процедуры контроля их качества, в число которых входит калибровка радиационного выхода линейного ускорителя, ошибка в установлении опорного значения дозы при проведении которой не должна превышать 2 %. Целью работы являлась разработка методики определения ошибки при установлении этой величины в зависимости от механических параметров штатива. Для решения поставленных задач проведены дозиметрические измерения дозовых распределений линейного ускорителя «Трилоджи» № 3567, на основании которых получены зависимости ошибки в определении опорного значения дозы от точности установки нулевого положения штатива ускорителя и величины девиации изоцентра вращения штатива ускорителя. Установлено, что наибольшее влияние на величину ошибки оказывает смещение изоцентра вращения штатива в плоскости, перпендикулярной плоскости падения радиационного пучка (до 3,64 % для энергии 6 МэВ). Ошибки, обусловленные наклоном штатива и девиацией его изоцентра в плоскости падения пучка, были максимальны для энергии 18 МэВ и достигали –0,7 % и –0,9 % соответственно. Таким образом, имеется возможность выразить результаты периодического контроля качества штатива линейного ускорителя в единицах дозы и использовать их при проведении комплексной оценки возможности клинического использования линейного ускорителя для облучения онкологических пациентов при условии разработки методик, позволяющих провести анализ влияния остальных его технико-дозиметрических параметров на ошибку в дозе. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>To ensure the safety of radiation oncology patients needed to provide a consistent functional characteristics of the medical linear electron accelerators, which affect the accuracy of dose delivery. To this end, their quality control procedures, which include the calibration of radiation output of the linear accelerator, the error in determining the dose reference value during which must not exceed 2 %, is provided. The aim is to develop a methodology for determining the error in determining this value, depending on the mechanical charachteristics of the linac’s gantry. To achieve the objectives have been carried out dosimetric measurements of Trilogy S/N 3567 linac dose distributions, on the basis of which dose errors depending on the accuracy setting the zero position of the gantry and the deviation of the gantry rotation isocenter were obtained. It was found that the greatest impact on the value of the error has gantry rotation isocenter deviation in a plane perpendicular to the plane of incidence of the radiation beam (up to 3,64% for the energy of 6 MeV). Dose errors caused by tilting the gantry and its isocenter deviation in the plane of incidence of the beam were highest for 18 MeV energy and reached –0,7 % and –0,9 % respectively. Thus, it is possible to express the results of periodic quality control of the linear accelerator ganty in terms of dose and use them to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the possibility of clinical use of a linear accelerator for oncology patients irradiation in case of development of techniques that allow to analyze the influence of the rest of its technical and dosimetric parameters for error in dose.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>лучевая терапия</kwd><kwd>калибровка радиационного выхода линейного ускорителя</kwd><kwd>ошибки в опорном значении дозы</kwd><kwd>штатив линейного ускорителя</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>radiation therapy</kwd><kwd>linear accelerator radiation output calibration procedure</kwd><kwd>error in the reference value of the absorbed dose</kwd><kwd>linac’s gantry</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Determination of Absorbed Dose in a Patient Irradiated by Beams of X or Gamma rays in Radiotherapy Procedures, International Commission On Radiation Units And Measurements. – Washington, D.C: ICRU, 1976. – Rep. 24.</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">International Commission On Radiation Units And Measurements.
