Abstract in Portuguese
Apresentamos uma análise e medidas dos espectros de energia dos feixes de elétrons terapêuticos, relacionando-a com a qualidade destes feixes. Parâmetros clínicos e físicos, importantes nos planejamentos radioterápicos e dosimetria das radiações, são analisados detalhadamente a partir de suas definições e as suas dependências com a largura do espectro. As medidas e estudos foram efetuadas com dois acelerados lineares clínicos de modelos diferentes: Mevatron 74 (UNICAMP SP) e Mevatron 12 (HC/FMRP/Ribeirão Preto SP) produzindo feixes de energias nominais variando de 5 a 12 MeV para o primeiro e, 3 a 11 MeV para o segundo. Verificamos que os valores previstos pela teoria semi-empírica para os parâmetros clínicos diferem daqueles medidos. Essas diferenças são importantes quando enfocadas sob a visão do desenho dos aceleradores e os resultados clínicos desejados

Abstract in English
A new approach was described for clinical and physical parameters used in radiotherapy planning and dosimetry, studying their dependencies on spectral widths. Two different models of clinical linear accelerators were used-Mevatron 74 (UNICAMP/SP) and Mevatron 12 (HC/FMRP/Ribeirão Preto). Mevatron 74 produces beams with nominal energies from 5 up to 12 MeV and Mevatron 12 from 3 up to 11 MeV. It was verified that the values of cilinical parameters expected from a semi-empirical theory differ from that obtained experimentally. Such differences are relevant from the point of view of the design of electron accelerators, as wellas, of the target clinical results
