ALSO NUMBERED AS BS EN 61168: 1994. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH BS 5724: SECTION 2.129. Specifies methods of disclosure of and describes methods of test for functional performance simulators intended for radiotherapy. Applies to radiotherapy simulators meant exclusively for radiotherapy as a prelude to intended radiotherapy and not for any other purposes such as general diagnostic purposes. Coverage includes: terminology and definitions; indication of delineated radiation fields; indication of delineated radiation beam axis. Also gives detailed tables.
