Abstract EN
Radiation therapies with linear accelerator are one of the efficient techniques cancer treatment.
The aim of this study is to verify of quality assurance of the linear accelerator at the Baghdad Center for Radiation Therapy and Nuclear Medicine.
In this study, a STARTRAK device and Perspex were used to ensure the quality of the linear accelerator for the period from August to December 2018.
Quality assurance of the linear accelerator work using Perspex and Star Track by measuring the output dose.
The results show an acceptable variation in the output X-ray dose delivered from Linear accelerator type synergy.
The achieved variation was ±2% and it was within the permissible range according to the recommendations of the manufacturer of the accelerator (Elkta).
