- Abstract
This study investigated if field output correction factors (FOCFs) of Varian stereotactic cones for Edge detectorTM had dependence on cone size, measurement setup, reference field size and/or photon energy. Field output factors (FOFs) of stereotactic cones were measured at three depths (1.5 cm, 5 cm and 10 cm) in two different setups (source-to-surface distance (SSD) and source-to-axis distance (SAD)) with two photon energies (6 MV and 6 MV flattening filter free) using the Edge detector and Exradin® W2 scintillator. Two reference fields (10 × 10 cm2 and 4 × 4 cm2) were chosen. FOCFs for the Edge detector were determined by calculating FOFW2/FOFEdge and compared among cones and between depths, setups, reference fields and energies. It is concluded that FOCFs for the Edge detector have dependence on cone size, SSD/SAD setup and energy for small cones, but do not have dependence on depth and reference field size.
