Objective: Discuss how to detect dose distribution of helical tomotherapy linear accelerator by using BPH three-dimensional water tank. Methods: Acquired percentage depth dose (PPD), in-plane and cross-plane in 40.0 cm×1.0 cm, 40.0 cm×2.5 cm and 40.0 cm×5.0 cm fields, respectively, of helical tomotherapy accelerator by BPH three-dimensional water tank and OmniPro-Accept 7.5 software. Compared acquired data with gold standard provided by manufacture and analyzed the differences between them. Results: For the PDD of different depth, data colle...
