Energy dependence of radiochromic dosimetry films for use in radiotherapy verification.
AIM The purpose of the study was to examine the energy dependence of Gafchromic EBT radiochromic dosimetry films, in order to assess their potential use in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) verifications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The film samples were irradiated with doses from 0.1 to 12 Gy using photon beams from the energy range 1.25 MeV to 25 MV and the film response was measured using ...
متن کاملSkin Dosimetry in Radiotherapy of Breast Cancer: a Comparison between EBT and EBT3 Radiochromic Films
Objective: Radiochromic EBT3 film is a later generation of radiochromic films. The aim of this study is to compare EBT and EBT3 radiochromic films in radiotherapy fields of breast cancer.Methods: A RANDO phantom was irradiated by a 6 MV Siemens Primus linac with medial and lateral fields of radiotherapy of breast cancer. Dosimetry was performed in various points in the fields using EBT and EBT3...
متن کاملMonte Carlo‐based investigation of absorbed‐dose energy dependence of radiochromic films in high energy brachytherapy dosimetry
Relative absorbed dose energy response correction, R, for various radiochromic films in water phantom is calculated by the use of the Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system for high energy brachytherapy sources 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 169Yb. The corrections are calculated along the transverse axis of the sources (1-15 cm). The radiochromic films investigated are EBT, EBT2 (lot 020609 and lot 03110...
متن کاملRole of in vivo dosimetry with radiochromic films for dose verification during cutaneous radiation therapy
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of in vivo dosimetry with radiochromic films for dose verification in cutaneous radiation therapy (RT). METHODS Five patients with 8 cutaneous or sub-cutaneous malignancies of the face, neck, trunk and extremity receiving RT were included. Orthovoltage, megavoltage photon therapies were applied based on anatomic location. The delivered dose for each target was mea...
