Radiology equipment
target-surface distance
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
The distance measured along the radiation beam axis from the effective location of the target to the surface of the irradiated object. Target-skin distance.
wall laser
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
Devices that enable the therapist to position the patient precisely. Typically the lasers intersect at the isocenter.
bgm subnodes
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
Five subnodes on the BGM that connect it to the RFSPS, MOD, PWM, EGN, and POS controllers. Each subnode has a DSP chip that runs firmware.
photon x-ray beam energy, basic matching of
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
For each X-ray beam of the same nominal energy, the depth of Dmax along the central axis in water phantom at 100 cm TSD is within ±1. 5 mm of the average. For each X-ray beam of the same nominal ...
target structure
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
The anatomical structure into which seeds are being implanted.
irradiation time
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
The time the beam is on during treatment, excluding the time needed for motion axes movement during no-beam segments. Also known as "beam time. "
photon x-ray beam flatness, basic matching of
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A quality of basic and fine matching of beams. For X-ray beams of the same nominal energy, the maximum dose in the plane normal to the beam axis at a depth of Dmax in water at 100 cm TSD is within ...
