Dosimetric characterization of GafChromic EBT film
The suitability of radiochromic EBT film was studied for high-precision clinical quality assurance (QA) by identifying the dose response for a wide range of irradiation parameters typically modified in highly-conformal treatment techniques. In addition, uncertainties associated with varying irradiation conditions were determined. EBT can be used for dose assessment of absorbed dose levels as we...
متن کاملDosimetry of gamma chamber blood irradiator using Gafchromic EBT film.
Gafchromic films are increasingly being used for dosimetry in medical and industrial applications of ionizing radiation because of their favorable characteristics such as self developing in nature, easy to handle, dose rate independent response, insensitivity to normal room lights, high resolution and insensitivity to variation in the environment conditions. The dosimetry measurements using Gaf...
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 کاملFabrication of anthropomorphic phantoms for use in total body photon irradiation and total skin electron irradiation studies
Introduction: Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) and Total Body Irradiation (TBI) are kinds of treatment which use electron and photon beams to treat special types of cancers. The aim of these techniques are to deliver uniform dose to the entire skin while minimizing delivered dose to organs at risk. To check the homogeneity of dose delivery in TBI and TSET, using a humanoid ph...
متن کاملDosimetric characterization and optimization of a customized Stanford Total Skin Electron Irradiation (TSEI) technique
Total skin electron irradiation (TSEI) has been used as a treatment for mycosis fungoides. Our center has implemented a modified Stanford technique with six pairs of 6 MeV adjacent electron beams, incident perpendicularly on the patient who remains lying on a translational platform, at 200 cm from the source. The purpose of this study is to perform a dosimetric characterization of this techniqu...
