Energy Dependence of the New Gafchromic EBT3 Film:Dose Response Curves for 50 KV, 6 and 15 MV X-Ray Beams
Purpose: To study and compare the dose response curves of the new GafChromic EBT3 film for megavoltage and kilovoltage x-ray beams, with different spatial resolutions. Methods: EBT3 films (lot#A101711-02) were exposed to each x-ray beam (6 MV, 15 MV, and 50 kV) at 7 dose values (50 3200 cGy). Each film piece was scanned three consecutive times in the center of Epson 10000XL flatbed scanner in 4...
متن کاملSU-E-T-142: Evaluation of the Energy Dependence of Gafchromic EBT3 Film for Electron Beams.
PURPOSE To evaluate the energy dependence of Gafchromic EBT3 film for establishing a quality assurance method of bolus electron conformal radiotherapy. METHODS We irradiated electron beam to EBT3 films, which were set in the water tank. The linear accelerator used was Varian Clinac 21EX. The energy of electron beams were 9 and 12 MeV. The irradiated field size was 10×10 cm2 and the source to ...
متن کاملGafchromic EBT3 film dosimetry in electron beams — energy dependence and improved film read‐out
For megavoltage photon radiation, the fundamental dosimetry characteristics of Gafchromic EBT3 film were determined in 60Co gamma ray beam with addition of experimental and Monte Carlo (MC)-simulated energy dependence of the film for 6 MV photon beam and 6 MeV, 9 MeV, 12 MeV, and 16 MeV electron beams in water phantom. For the film read-out, two phase correction of scanner sensitivity was appli...
متن کاملDose-response curve of EBT, EBT2, and EBT3 radiochromic films to synchrotron-produced monochromatic x-ray beams.
PURPOSE This work investigates the dose-response curves of GAFCHROMIC(®) EBT, EBT2, and EBT3 radiochromic films using synchrotron-produced monochromatic x-ray beams. EBT2 film is being utilized for dose verification in photoactivated Auger electron therapy at the Louisiana State University Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) synchrotron facility. METHODS Monochromatic beams...
متن کاملWeak energy dependence of EBT gafchromic film dose response in the 50 kVp-10 MVp X-ray range.
The energy dependence of the dose response of EBT Gafchromic film is assessed over a broad energy range, from superficial to megavoltage X-rays. The film is auto-developing and sensitive, it provides accurate dose assessment of low doses (about 1-2 Gy) used in radiotherapy. The energy dependence of the response of EBT film was found to be very weak: the variations do not exceed 10% over the ran...
