AimThe aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the inverse square law (ISL) method for determining location of virtual electron source (SVir) in Siemens Primus linac.BackgroundSo far, different experimental methods have presented for determining virtual and effective electron source location such as Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM), Multiple Coulomb Scattering (MCS), and Multi Pinhole Camera (MPC) and Inverse Square Law (ISL) methods. Among these methods, Inverse Square Law is the most common used method.Materials and methodsFirstly, Siemens Primus linac was simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Then, by using dose profiles obtained from the Monte Carlo simulations, the location of SVir was calculated for 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 14MeV electron energies and 10cm×10cm, 15cm×15cm, 20cm×20cm and 25cm×25cm field sizes. Additionally, the location of SVir was obtained by the ISL method for the mentioned electron energies and field sizes. Finally, the values obtained by the ISL method were compared to the values resulted from Monte Carlo simulation.ResultsThe findings indicate that the calculated SVir values depend on beam energy and field size. For a specific energy, with increase of field size, the distance of SVir increases for most cases. Furthermore, for a special applicator, with increase of electron energy, the distance of SVir increases for most cases. The variation of SVir values versus change of field size in a certain energy is more than the variation of SVir values versus change of electron energy in a certain field size.ConclusionAccording to the results, it is concluded that the ISL method can be considered as a good method for calculation of SVir location in higher electron energies (14MeV).
