Abstract
A new approach was described for clinical and physical parameters used in radiotherapy planning and dosimetry, studying their dependencies on spectral widths. Two different models of clinical linear accelerators were used-Mevatron 74 (UNICAMP) and Mevatron 12 (HC/FMRP/Ribeirao Preto). Mevatron 74 produces beams with nominal energies from 5 up to 12 MeV and Mevatron 12 from 3 up to 11 MeV. It was verified that the values of clinical parameters expected from a semi-empirical theory differ from that obtained experimentally. Such differences are relevant from the point of view of the design of electron accelerators, as well as, of the target clinical results. (author)
