Abstract:
This paper presents a novel x-ray dose testing water tank used for the stereotactic radiation therapy system, including its constitution, structure and the method of using it. The water tank has a simple structure of inner and outer sleeves which are connected through a drowned pump and a water pipe in order to control the water level of the tank. The water tank featuring autoregulation and easy use is worthy of clinical application and popularization.
