Material and Methods: All measurements were performed in a large water phantom using a 3-dimensional scanning system (PTW, Germany). For photon beams, the data were measured with a 0.125cc cylindrical chamber. For electron, the data were performed with a Roos chamber. Results: In photon beams, flatness and symmetry for reference field size 10×10cm2 were within the tolerance intervals. Flatness were 0.79% and 1.55% for X6MV and X18MV, respectively. Symmetry were 0.57 and 0.25 for X6MV and X18MV, respectively. The output factor vary between 0.83 and 1.11 for X6MV. Moreover, it varies between 0.74 and 1.09 for X18MV. The leaf transmission factors were 0.97% for X6MV and1.14% for X18MV. The DLG were 1.31 and 1.34 for X6MV and X18MV, respectively. For electron beams, the quality index R50 for applicator 15×15cm2 were in the tolerance. Maximum depth dose for 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20MeV were 1.2, 1.9, 2.7, 2.99 and 2.4cm, respectively. Bremsstrahlung tail were 6MeV–2.86cm, 9MeV–4.32cm, 12MeV–5.96cm, 16MeV–7.93cm, and 20MeV–10.08cm per energy levels. Conclusion: The obtained results and international recommendations were in a good agrement UR - https://ijmp.mums.ac.ir/article_11715.html L1 - https://ijmp.mums.ac.ir/article_11715_97606f715bb6b54b7c853065c872cd67.pdf ER -
