Abstract
A sensor is inserted into a closed water tank filled with water to the brim and the closed water tank is fixed directly to a radiation beam irradiating section, and the sensor is moved freely with respect to a mounted frame used for fixation. Therefore, a rapid and accurate prediction of the actual dose distribution of radiation beam prior to radiation therapy can be conducted, even when the irradiating section is attached to a rotation gantry.
