dosimetric comparison between xr-rv3 and ebt2 radiochromic film in megavoltage photon beams
Authors
abstract
background: radiochromic film is used for radiation dose measurement, xr-rv3 is used in fluoroscopy and ebt2 film in radiation therapy. the aim was to determine if the dosimetric properties of these two films are comparable in megavolt photon beams. materials and methods: comparison measurements included: calibration curves, heterogeneous phantom dose profiles, and nasopharynx dose distribution measurement. results: both film types required 24 hours to stabilize. their heterogeneous phantom dose profiles were similar, and their dose distributions for a nasopharynx treatment were within 3%/3mm. conclusion: dose distributions between both films showed good correlation and xr-rv3 film can be used in radiotherapy for quality control checks.

Dosimetric comparison between XR-RV3 and EBT2 radiochromic film in megavoltage photon beams
Background: Radiochromic film is used for radiation dose measurement, XR-RV3 is used in fluoroscopy and EBT2 film in radiation therapy.

full textA dosimetric intercomparison of megavoltage photon beams in UK radiotherapy centres.
A dosimetry intercomparison has been carried out for all 64 radiotherapy centres in the UK. Doses were measured with an ionization chamber in an epoxy resin water-substitute phantom of relatively simple geometry. Reference-point measurements were made for all MV photon beams. For 61 Co-60 beams, a mean ratio of measured-to-stated dose of 1.002 was observed with a standard deviation of 0.014, wh...
full textXR type-R radiochromic film x-ray energy response.
Gafchromic XR type-R radiochromic film is a relatively new product designed for use at clinical diagnostic x-ray energies both qualitatively and quantitatively. This short note investigates the energy response characteristics of this high-sensitivity radiochromic film for both diagnostic and therapeutic x-ray energies. Results are also compared to conventional silver halide x-ray film for energ...
full textExperimental energy response verification of XR type T radiochromic film.
This short note investigates the energy response characteristics of a relatively new high sensitivity radiochromic film (XR type T) and compares it to other radiochromic and radiographic films and thermoluminescent dosimeters. Results show that the energy response of the new XR type T film is relatively large over the range of therapeutic energies from 50 kVp superficial x-ray treatment to 18 M...
full textUltraviolet exposure of Gafchromic XR‐RV3 and XR‐SP2 films
Gafchromic film has been used for X-ray dose measurement in diagnostic examinations. Their use has been initiated for three-dimensional X-ray dose measurement by using the high-resolution characteristics of Gafchromic films in computed tomography. However, it is necessary to solve the problem of nonuniform thickness in the active layers of Gafchromic films. A double exposure technique using X-r...
full textPrincipal Component Analysis of EBT2 Radiochromic Film for Multichannel Film Dosimetry
Radiochromic film with a dye incorporated into the radiation sensitive layer [Gafchromic EBT2, Ashland, Inc.] may be digitized by a color transparency scanner, digitally processed, and calibrated so that a digital image in units of radiation absorbed dose is obtained. A transformation from raw scanner values to dose values was developed based upon a principal component analysis of the optical d...
