Compliance Test of Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) Using LINAC Machine Brand Electa Precise against American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) PDD with Electron Beam Energy Variation at Radiotherapy Installation RSUP Prof. Ngoerah in Denpasar

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the value of PDD against energy variations in the electron beam using the Elekta Precise Brand LINAC aircraft, and to determine the suitability of the PDD value against energy variations in the electron beam with the standards set by AAPM. PDD value data obtained from the results of research using Sun Nuclear Dosimetry Software (SNC Dosimetry). The results of the study will then be compared with the standard Tolerance value set by AAPM of a maximum of 2%. From the deviation value of each 4 MeV energy is 1.1% - 1.8%, 6 MeV energy is 1.1% - 1.6%, and 8 MeV energy is 1.0% - 1.2%, the deviation error at 4, 6, and 8 MeV energy is in accordance with the tolerance limit set by AAPM which is 2%. So that the Elekta Precise LINAC machine at the Radiotherapy Installation of Prof. Ngoerah Denpasar Hospital is feasible to operate to receive patients.
