In the main window menu, go to “Tools\Applicator Sterilization”. Select the “tested” applicator and move it from the left to the right panel. Under the “Equipment Inventory” tab the sterilisation counts on the “tested” applicator will be incremented. Appendices Appendix A: Treatment Calculation Time Depth Dose Curve in Water During production or recalibration, Zeiss determines the depth dose curve of a given XRS in a specially designed water phantom that allows the mounting and positioning of the XRS without the stand, as well as the insertion of the ion chamber (IC) inside a purpose-made holder within the 26 R.

Afterwards it was scanned and evaluated according to standard local protocols. The verification of the depth dose curve is more difficult because the film has to be calibrated from pixel values (grey values) into dose. This can be done by irradiating a film along an extension of the axis of the probe. A profile on the scanned film along this axis gives a curve F. Schneider et al. 34 Fig. 3 Evaluation of isotropy using Gafchromic films representing grey values as a function of depth. An exponential function can be fitted to that curve in Mathematica or Mathlab.

E. after a new calibration file has been imported as a result of recalibration). This procedure will test the response of the IRM by determining the linear correlation between the individual beam currents and the associated count R. Gonzalez and C.

Once the process has been started it will run automatically and last a few minutes. No tolerances are set for this test. 11) This procedure will allow (1 point) calibration of the air pressure as measured by the control ­console internal barometer against an external, calibrated barometer.
