TG-69: radiographic film for megavoltage beam dosimetry.
TG-69 is a task group report of the AAPM on the use of radiographic film for dosimetry. Radiographic films have been used for radiation dosimetry since the discovery of x-rays and have become an integral part of dose verification for both routine quality assurance and for complex treatments such as soft wedges (dynamic and virtual), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image guided rad...
متن کاملSuitability 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 کاملEvaluation and implementation of triple‐channel radiochromic film dosimetry in brachytherapy
The measurement of dose distributions in clinical brachytherapy, for the purpose of quality control, commissioning or dosimetric audit, is challenging and requires development. Radiochromic film dosimetry with a commercial flatbed scanner may be suitable, but careful methodologies are required to control various sources of uncertainty. Triple-channel dosimetry has recently been utilized in exte...
متن کاملEvaluation and mitigation of potential errors in radiochromic film dosimetry due to film curvature at scanning
This work considers a previously overlooked uncertainty present in film dosimetry which results from moderate curvature of films during the scanning process. Small film samples are particularly susceptible to film curling which may be undetected or deemed insignificant. In this study, we consider test cases with controlled induced curvature of film and with film raised horizontally above the sc...
متن کاملOptimizing the dynamic range extension of a radiochromic film dosimetry system.
The authors present a radiochromic film dosimetry protocol for a multicolor channel radiochromic film dosimetry system consisting of the external beam therapy (EBT) model GAFCHROMIC film and the Epson Expression 1680 flat-bed document scanner. Instead of extracting only the red color channel, the authors are using all three color channels in the absorption spectrum of the EBT film to extend the...
متن کاملComparison of Electron-Beam Dose Distributions in a Heterogeneous Phantom Obtained Using Radiochromic Film Dosimetry and Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: Nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. Properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. Material and Methods: In this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...
