Suitability of radiochromic films for dosimetry of low energy X‐rays
This study examined the response characteristics of three commercially available radiochromic films when exposed to low energy (50 kVp) X-rays. The aim was to evaluate the films for potential use in 2D dosimetry for a low-kV intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) device known as the ‘Intrabeam’. Dose-response relationships were obtained for Gafchromic EBT, XR-RV2, and XR-QA film in water at several...
متن کاملEnergy 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 کاملEnergy response of EBT3 radiochromic films: implications for dosimetry in kilovoltage range
The objective of this study is to evaluate the suitability of recently introduced radiochromic film EBT3 for clinical dosimetry in the kilovoltage (kV) range. For this purpose, a kV X-ray irradiator, X RAD 320ix in the range 70 to 300 kVp, a clinical 60Co source, a 6 MV and an 18 MV X-ray clinical beam from a Varian linear accelerator were calibrated following AAPM dosimetry protocols. EBT3 fil...
متن کاملCytogenetic effects of low-energy X-rays
Mammography, using 26-30 kV X-rays, is a method routinely used to screen early stages of breast cancer, but some discussion about radiation-related risk associated with this methodology exists. For radioprotection purposes, it has been assigned a quality factor of 1 for all photon energies. However, the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) could increase as photon energy decreases. Analysing...
