7、letherapyEquipment.)This guidelines for inspection of teletherapy equipment are the product of Subcommittee N44.2, and its original draftof 1973 was written by Peter Vreeling. Priority for the attention of N44.2 on this subject of periodic inspection wassuggested by the Bureau of Radiological Health

8、 (BRH) of the United States Department of Health, Education andWelfare. For those several early years of N44.2 the BRH was the sponsor of the subcommittee and some of the mostproductive work on this standard (ANSI N449.1-1978) was done at meetings in BRH headquarters. Urgency forpromulgation of stan

9、dards for periodic inspection of teletherapy apparatus was stimulated by a fatality occurring whena patient was crushed by a cobalt teletherapy whose deficiency might have been corrected by appropriate maintenanceand inspection. It is a tribute to teletherapy apparatus, in general, that few serious

10、accidents have been reported withsuch machines which became the “conventional radiotherapy devices” of the 1950s, 1960s and even the 1970s.Complacency can follow decades of safe and dependable use of cobalt and cesium teletherapy machines, and thismaintenance guide is designed to avoid accidents and

11、 inaccuracies of output.When the BRH deemed it in conflict with their bureau to continue sponsorship of N44.2, the subcommittee onstandards for radiotherapy equipment IEEE took on the task of continued sponsorship of N44.2, and the task ofcompletion of this maintenance standard by obtaining final ap

During the multiple meetings anddiscussions on safety for te

14、letherapy, the increase in numbers of linear accelerators was recognized, and theimportance of promulgating standards for these complex devices was noted. But the relatively simpler job ofestablishing standards for cobalt teletherapy machines was elected because of the need for such a standard, and

15、also toafford a prototype standard for subsequent promulgation of similarly needed guides for linear accelerators.At the time it approved this standard, American National Standards Committee on Equipment and Materials forMedical Radiation Applications had the following personnel:A.

ScopeThis guideline provides suggested procedures for the inspection of cobalt-60 and cesium-137 teletherapy equipmentwhich may identify and quantify malfunctions or maladjustments of the

33、safety and radiation defining components.This guideline is a companion document to ANSI N449-1974 1, which specifies tests and suggested frequencies forthe inspection and maintenance of teletherapy equipment.2. ObjectiveThe objective of the standard is to provide users of the teletherapy units with

34、suggested procedures for performing theperiodic inspection of their equipment as specified in ANSI N449-1974 1. Methods and equipment are listed for eachprocedure.3. General ConsiderationsThe procedures included in this document are not intended to be all-inclusive. Other procedures may be equallysa

However, the procedures described here have been used successfully and will give results with sufficientaccuracy to meet the recommended tolerances when performed by competent people with appropriate equipment.Appropriate equipment means equipment which is functioning properly and of rel

A “qualified expert” as defined by the NCRP is acceptable in this regard.NOTE Qualified Expert: With reference to radiation protection, a

48、MENT ANSI N449.1-1978As a matter of general good practice, a minimum of three instrument readings should be taken at each data point. Forexample, three readings of source transit time to “on” and three readings to “off” should be made. All readings arerecorded and the average used as the data point.

49、 When using an ionization chamber for radiation measurements, theirradiation time and instrument scale should be chosen so as to utilize the most accurate and reproducible part of thescale. For instance, if a condenser R-chamber was calibrated at 50 percent of full scale and is shown to be linearbetween 20 and 80 percent of full scale, irradiation times should be utilized which will result in readings between 20and 80 percent of full scale.Maintenance operations for individual teletherapy units which are ordinarily performed by manufacturer or distributors
