Current status of quality control of kV X-ray radiotherapy equipment
kV X-ray radiotherapy was the primary mode of radiotherapy widely used to treat many types of cancer,includ-ing deep tumors,before the invention of the Co-60 therapy machine and the electron linear accelerator,which gradually re-placed kV X-ray radiotherapy.kV X-ray radiotherapy equipment requires less space and shielding,and still has application value in the treatment of skin lesions and superficial tumors.Especially in recent years,kV X-ray has been used in the treat-ment of keloid,and electronic brachytherapy equipment has been used in intracavitary,intraoperative,and superficial radio-therapy.Therefore,kV X-ray radiotherapy has seen renewed application.The quality control of kV X-ray radiotherapy equipment is the key to ensure the treatment effect and safety of patients.This paper reviews the current status of quality con-trol of kV X-ray radiotherapy equipment and provides a reference for the formulation of quality control assessment stand-ards for kV X-ray radiotherapy equipment.
