Abstract:
The fundamental principles of construction, the operational data, handling and safety devices of the first linear electron accelerator type Therac 20-Saturne (CGR MeV) installed in Germany are described. Relevant characteristics of the radiation field for therapy with 12 and 18-MV photons and also the dosimetric data are reported. Observance of the tolerances recommended by the IEC is guaranteed with this accelerator.
