Abstract (EN)

In this study, it is indented for calculating standard block, cerrobend block and wedge filter transmission factor using the Co-60 Gamma source with Equinox model, existed in the Dr. Abdurahman Yurtarslan Ankara Oncology Education and Research Hospitals. Therefore, by using SAD and SSD techniques in different field and depth for radiated dose volume per second, it is separately measured for each technique building field and depth doublet. Consequently, it is investigated field and depth changes on the effect of transmission factor with SAD and SSD techniques.Key Words : Radiotherapy, Radiation, Cobalt 60, Wedge, Lead (Pb) block, Transmission factor
