Listen "RadPhysics E9: TG-51 Calibration Essentials"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the RadOnc Smart Review Physics Series! In P8, we stressed the importance of Quality Assurance – making sure our LINACs work correctly. But QA relies on having an accurate baseline measurement of the machine's output. How do we establish that baseline? That's where Calibration comes in. Today, in Episode P9: Calibration Essentials, we'll demystify the process of calibrating a LINAC, focusing on the current standard protocol in the US: the AAPM's Task Group 51 report, or TG-51.
