    1. The output delivered at 200cm SSD and 1.5cm depth is 0.5cGy/MU, half of the output at 100cm SSD. 2. The dmax dose for a 20x20cm field delivering 200cGy to 10cm depth is 300cGy, as PDD at 10cm is 66.6% of dmax. 3. The output at 10cm depth for a 35x35cm field with dmax output of 1.036cGy/MU is 0.69cGy/MU, which is 66.6% of dmax output.

    Dose Calculations – SSD Photon Only

    A linear accelerator is calibrated to deliver 1cGy for 1 MU at 1.5cm depth, with an SSD of 100cm and a
    field size of 10x10cm.

    1. If the output delivered at 100cm SSD at 1.5cm depth is 1.000cGy/MU. What is the output
    delivered at 200cm SSD and a depth of 1.5cm?
    2. What is the dmax dose if a 20x20cm field with an SSD of 100cm delivers 200cGy to a depth of
    10cm [PDD(10cm) = 66.6%]?
    3. If the output for a 35x35cm field at dmax is 1.036cGy/MU, what is the output at 10cm depth
    [PDD(10cm)=66.6%]?
    4. How many MU are needed to deliver 200cGy at 5cm depth with a 10x10cm field
    [PDD(5cm)=85.8%, Scp=1.000]?
    5. A patient’s treatment MU are calculated to be delivered at 100cm SSD at a depth of dmax. The
    optical distance indicator (ODI) is mis-calibrated by 2cm, the resulting SSD = 98cm. Does the
    dose increase/decrease and by how much?
    6. What is the Mayneord F Factor equation and why is it used?
    7. For a single spine field, treated with 6MV (dmax = 1.5cm) to a depth of 5cm at 100cm SSD. What
    is the Mayneord F Factor for the following extended SSD setups?
    a. 110cm
    b. 120cm
    c. 130cm
    d. 140cm
    e. 150cm
    8. If the dose rate in free space at a distance of 80.5cm is 122.2cGy/min, what would be the dose
    rate in free space at 100.5cm?
    9. If the dose rate in free space at a distance of 100cm is 200cGy/min, how far do you need to be
    from the source so the dose rate does not exceed 10cGy/min?
    10. For an SSD treatment with a 6MV x-ray beam, what is the MU setting to deliver 300cGy at the
    100% isodose line for a 15x15cm field size at 10cm depth and 100cm SSD? [PDD(10) = 70%,
    Sc=1.03, Sp=1.026, Dmax = 1cGy/MU @ 100cm SSD]
