Patent ID: 8602647

Claim:
A radiation beam analyzer for detecting radiation dosimetry of a beam emitted along an axis from a radiotherapy treatment device comprising: a phantom body formed of a material having a density proximate that of a human body; a tank containing said phantom body; at least one dosimetry probe constructed and arranged to sense photons and electrons, said at least one dosimetry probe positioned within said phantom body; a plurality of rails secured to said tank and said phantom body; a rotary table, said tank and said plurality of rails being positioned on said rotary table; and a plurality of mechanisms incrementally moving said tank and said phantom body in a substantially vertical, radial, transverse or diagonal direction relative to a radiation source; the distance between said radiation source and the axis of a beam emitted from said radiation source relative to said at least one dosimetry probe being constant; whereby movement of said tank and said phantom body through a series of locations is carried out so as to provide sufficient data to determine the proper dose of radiation required for radiotherapeutics.
