The output of radiotherapy Linear Accelerators (Linacs) is calibrated following national or international protocols like TG-51 by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine [1] or TRS-398 by the International Atomic Energy Agency [2], annually on or before the anniversary date of the commissioning of each Linac.The anniversary dates fall at random times around the year. Is there a better time for annual output calibration than on random anniversary dates? In view of the recent report of seasonal output variation [3,4],it is time to consider performing annual output calibration in the months not having extreme air humidity.
