Dosimetric characterization of a Varex VF‐80/μXHP x‐ray unit using open‐ended applicators for superficial radiotherapy
This research provides the dosimetric analysis of a kilovoltage VF-80/μXHP x-ray machine. The primary focus was on using a PTW 34013 ionization chamber to measure the percentage depth dose in a solid water phantom, along with dose calculations performed using the TOPAS Monte Carlo simulation. The findings align well with existing literature, confirming that this x-ray unit is suitable for low-kV x-ray radiotherapy applications.
