Study of Characteristics of Fluorescent Optical Crystals of Multi-Leaf Collimator of Linear Electron Accelerator By Electa Synergy for the Purpose of the Possible Import Substitution

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of Elekta Synergy clinical linear accelerator operation, and in particular the functionality of the Agility multi-leaf collimator. In connection with the initiation of new large-scale restrictions against Russia, which are of the ultra concentrated nature, affecting also the medical industry, the issue of replacement of component parts of the multi-leaf collimator, namely fluorescent optical crystals, is acute. Failure of small-sized fluorescent optical crystals leads to inoperability of high-tech equipment and stops the process of radiation treatment. The purpose of the work was to study the operation of the Elekta Synergy clinical linear accelerator, in terms of functionality of the Agility multi-leaf collimator, to determine the chemical composition of fluorescent optical crystals, to determine the prospects of import substitution.
