Dosimetric Pitfall for Relative Dosimetry in Electron Disequilibrium Region
Various types of radiation detectors are used to measure relative dose distributions for therapeutic electron and photon beams. Most detectable signals from a radiation detector are correlated to the energy imparted δε to the detector [1]. This, in turn, is related to the absorbed dose in the detector, Ddet. Table I lists types of radiation detectors, their signals, and their relationship to th...
متن کاملSmall field electron beam dosimetry using MOSFET detector
The dosimetry of very small electron fields can be challenging due to relative shifts in percent depth-dose curves, including the location of dmax, and lack of lateral electronic equilibrium in an ion chamber when placed in the beam. Conventionally a small parallel plate chamber or film is utilized to perform small field electron beam dosimetry. Since modern radiotherapy departments are becomin...
متن کاملEnergy and field size dependence of a silicon diode designed for small-field dosimetry
Purpose: To investigate the energy dependence/spectral sensitivity of silicon diodes designed for small-field dosimetry and obtain response factors (RFs) for arbitrary photon spectra using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Methods: The EGSnrc user-code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the dose deposition in water and in the active volume of a stereotactic diode f...
متن کاملSU-E-T-110: Small Electron Field Surface Dosimetry Using Solid State Detectors.
PURPOSE Solid state detectors from two independent systems have shown similar over-responses to small electron fields used for treatment of surface lesions. We propose to evaluate the accuracy of solid state detector systems for highly blocked electron fields as a method for clinical dosimetry and determine the cause for any deviations from expected dose-delivery calculations. METHODS A QED D...
متن کاملDosimetry for Small, Irregular and Rectangular Field Size for Electron Beam Therapy
Purpose: This study was to investigate the effect of irregularity in shape of field size of electron beam on the percentage depth dose and the output factor. Study the variety of the Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and the output factors for rectangular and small field sizes when one of field dimensions less than the Practical Range (Rp) of the electron energy used. Compare the measured output fact...
