The present work develops a method, capable of implementing a radiosurgery dosimetry system by means of Monte Carlo Simulation (CM), in such a way that the dosimetric data can be obtained in a truthful and reliable way, and with the optimization of the acquisition time. It is developed counting on the Radiosurgery System installed in a Linear Photon Accelerator (LINAC) with energy of 6 MV, experimental dosimetric measurements were made to the system, by means of the use of a Wellhofer 700 automatic Fantoma, a micro ionization chamber “Pin Point“ Chamber PTW “, an electrometer Model KEITHELEY 35617EBS, a collimator and collimators used for radiosurgery (cones) of different diameters. The PENELOPE code (Penetration and ENErgy LOss of Positrons and Electrons) was used to perform the Monte Carlo simulation under the same experimental geometrical conditions, for which the data of the Accelerator Configuration were granted by the Siemens Medical Systems and Oncology Care Systems, from where the materials corresponding to each part of the accelerator MEVATRON KD2 are obtained. The Winston - Lutz test was used to perform the quality control of the planning software together with a phantom adapted to perform in vivo dosimetry. Using the proposed method, the dosimetric data for a radiosurgery system can be obtained by means of MC simulation: Percentage of Dose in Depth (PDD), Profiles of doses; both for the 24 mm diameter cone. In the same way, the Field Factors were obtained by MC, in this case for the cones of 10 mm, 24 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm in diameter). These measurements obtained by MC when compared with the data obtained experimentally show a maximum percentage difference of 2%. It should be mentioned that for the comparison of experimentally obtained data for field factors, these were corrected using the new protocol, TRS No. 483, of the AIEA. Noting the importance of using this protocol to obtain the dosimetry of small beams. In relation to the quality control of the planning system (TPS) and to the dosimetry performed on the system, the results obtained show a percentage deviation of 1.8% in relation to the planned dose and the dose delivered. It is thus possible to conclude that with the proposed method it is possible to obtain the dosimetric data for a radiosurgery system by means of a simulation of MC in a reliable way and with a cost and time saving in comparison with the experimental dosimetric technique used every day.
