С этой целью осуществляются процедуры их контроля качества, в число которых входит калибровка радиационного выхода линейного ускорителя, ошибка в установлении опорного значения дозы которой не должна превышать 2 %. Целью работы являлась разработка методики определения ошибки при установлении этой величины в зависимости от характеристик радиационного пучка ускорителя. Для решения поставленных задач были проведены измерения дозовых распределений ускорителя «Трилоджи» № 3567, на основании которых получены зависимости отклонения в опорном значении дозы от мощности дозы излучения, точности определения проникающей способности излучения и коэффициентов радиационного выхода, симметрии и равномерности радиационного поля, угловой зависимости радиационного выхода. Установлено, что наибольшее влияние на ошибку в дозе оказывает ошибка в определении коэффициентов радиационного выхода ускорителя (до 5,26 % для обеих энергий фотонов – 6 и 18 МэВ). Ошибки, обусловленные изменением мощности дозы излучения, достигали 1,6 % для 6 МэВ и 1,4 % для 18 МэВ. Ошибки, вызываемые неточностями в установлении проникающей способности излучения, достигали 1,1 % для 18 МэВ и 0,3 % для 6 МэВ. Ошибки, обусловленные остальными характеристиками, не превышали 1 %. Таким образом, имеется возможность на основании результатов процедуры калибровки радиационного выхода выразить результаты контроля качества линейного ускорителя в единицах дозы и использовать их при проведении комплексной оценки возможности его клинического использования для облучения пациентов. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>To ensure the radiation protection of oncology patients is needed to provide the constancy of functional characteristics of the medical linear accelerators, which affect the accuracy of dose delivery. For this purpose, their quality control procedures are realized including calibration of radiation output of the linac, so the error in determining the dose reference value during this procedure must not exceed 2 %. The aim is to develop a methodology for determining the error in determining this value, depending on the characteristics of the radiation beam. Dosimetric measurements of Trilogy S/N 3567 linac dose distributions have been carried out for achievement of the objectives, on the basis of which dose errors depending on the dose rate value, the accuracy of the beam quality and output factors determination, the symmetry and uniformity of the radiation field, the angular dependence of the linac radiation output were obtained. It was found that the greatest impact on the value of the error has the error in the output factors determination (up to 5.26 % for both photon energy). Dose errors caused by changing dose rate during treatment were different for two photon energies, and reached 1.6 % for 6 MeV and 1.4 % for 18 MeV. Dose errors caused by inaccuracies of the beam quality determination were different for two photon energies, and reached 1.1 % for 18 MeV and –0.3 % for 6 MeV. Errors caused by the remaining of the characteristic do not exceed 1 %. Thus, there is a possibility to express the results of periodic quality control of the linear accelerator 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 on the basis of the calibration of radiation output.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>калибровка радиационного выхода линейного ускорителя</kwd><kwd>ошибки в опорном значении дозы</kwd><kwd>дозиметрические характеристики радиационного пучка</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>linear accelerator radiation output calibration</kwd><kwd>error in the reference value of the absorbed dose</kwd><kwd>radiation beam characteristics</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">Титович, Е.В.
