A multicenter study of modified electron beam output calibration
CONCLUSION: This multi-institutional study analyzed a modified calibration procedure utilizing new data for electron beam calibrations at multiple institutions and evaluated existing calibration protocols. Based on observed variations, the current calibration protocols should be updated with detailed metrics on the stability of linac components.PMID:38088260 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14232 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)

Technical specifications of dose management systems: An international atomic energy agency survey
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this survey clearly exhibit that large differences exist between the various DMS developers. Consequently, potential end users of a DMS should carefully determine which of the features available are essential for their needs, prioritize desirable features, but also consider their infrastructure, the level of support required and the budget available before selecting a DMS.PMID:38060709 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14219 (Source: Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics)
