Abstract

An increasing number of radiotherapy departments are being equipped with high-energy accelerators which have a facility for electron beam therapy, usually with a range of electron energies available. The aim of the device described is to enable the radiographers using the treatment unit to carry out a simple check on the electron energy, whilst making the necessary trial run after changing energies.
