Abstract

In commissioning of medical linear accelerator 3D water phantom is used. The procedure required a lot of efforts and is time consuming. The purpose of the study is to determine whether a Profiler 2 scanning system can be used as a substitute for 3D water phantom. All the measurements were performed with 6 and 15 MV photon beams generated by Elekta Synergy linear accelerator. Percentage depth dose and beam profiles were measured for 6
