Abstract

Small field dosimetry remains a challenging task. The difficulties associated with small fields measurements become more pronounced for field sizes less than 1 cm. To overcome these difficulties it has been suggested to employ Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. The purpose of this work was to report the results of commissioning and MC validation of the new Elekta stereotactic conical collimatorsystem for 6 MV flattening filter free (FFF) beams on Elekta VersaHDlinac.
