The application of Lynx-2D in proton spot scanning system commissioning
The rapid measurement of the location of beam spot and its characteristics is a key issue in the commissioning and quality control of proton pencil beam scanning system.
Purpose
2
This article introduces the IBA commercial Lynx-2D in the spot scanning system of the first domestic proton therapy facility. In the spot scanning system commissioning
Lynx-2D is mainly used to measure the beam spot.
Methods
2
The analysis tools based on MATLAB is developed because the beam position can not be obtained by Lynx-2D software through the measurement data
the beam spot location is identified in the image with the Grayscale gravity center method and the Gaussian fitting method.
Results
2
The two methods are satisfied with the measurement.
Conclusion
2
The measurement efficiency can be improved with these two methods to find the beam position
and it is convenient to handle the data with the software developed by ourselves.
