Purpose:To evaluate the performance of the stealth chamber by IBA under large field conditions.
Methods:Measurement of PDDs and profiles for fields of 10x10, 15x15, 20x20 and 25x25 cm2 were acquired in a blue phantom2 scanning system for 6 and 15 MV beams in a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. The stealth chamber has a field size limit of 25x25 cm2. Measurements with two different detector set were performed. First a cc13 chamber as field and reference chamber was acquired. And with a cc13 chamber as field detector and the stealth chamber as the reference chamber. PDDs for the fields mentioned above were conducted and profiles with the same fields at depth of dmax, 5, 10 and 20 cm were acquired for comparison.
Results:Examination of the PDDs and profile comparison with a criterion of 1% and 1 mm agreement was performed. Very good agreement between the cc13 and stealth chamber set was observed within the chosen criterion.
Conclusion:This work indicates the comparable results obtained with the use of the stealth chamber and cc13 as the reference chamber in relative dosimetry measurements.
