[P149] Beam profile characteristic points designation for off-axis, wedged and FFF beams

Purpose The main aim of this work is the search of characteristic points of a beam profile and application of these points for the TPS commissioning purposes. The comparison between profiles during the commissioning of the treatment planning system is a very important procedure. It is impossible to designate a field size for the off-axis, wedged and FFF beams directly using the definition of the on-axis symmetric field size. This work demonstrates how to compute good indicators of the field size that can be used for commissioning and QA purposes. Methods The proposal is to use profile inflection points as the beam profile characteristic points. The comparison of distances between inflection…
