Purpose : We have compared the characteristics of Siemens virtual wedge device with
physical wedges for clinical application.
Methods and Materials : We investigated the characteristics of virtual and physical
wedges for various wedge angles (15, 30, 45, and 60¡Æ) using 6- and 15MV photon
beams. Wedge factors were measured in water using an ion chamber for various field
sizes and depths. In case of virtual wedge device, as upper jaw moves during
irradiation, wedge angles were estimated by accumulated doses. These measurements
were performed at off-axis points perpendicular to the beam central axis in water for a
15§¯¡¿20§¯ radiation field size at the depth of 10§¯. Surface doses without and with
virtual or physical wedges were measured using a parallel plate ion chamber at surface.
Field size was 15§¯¡¿20§¯ and a polystyrene phantom was used.
Results : For various field sizes, virtual and physical wedge factors were changed by
maximum 2.1% and 3.9%, respectively. For various depths, virtual and physical wedge
factors were changed by maximum 1.9% and 2.9%, respectively. No major difference
was found between the virtual and physical wedge angles and the difference was within
0.5¡Æ. Surface dose with physical wedge was reduced by maximum 20% (x-ray beam :6
MV, wedge angle:45¡Æ, SSD: 80 §¯) relative to one with virtual wedge or without
wedge.
Conclusion : Comparison of the characteristics of Siemens virtual wedge device with
physical wedges was performed. Depth dependence of virtual wedge factor was smaller
than that of physical wedge factor. Virtual and physical wedge factors were nearly
independent of field sizes. The accuracy of virtual and physical wedge angles was
excellent. Surface dose was found to be reduced using physical wedge.
