Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) poses a number of challenges for properly measuring commissioning data and quality assurance (QA) radiation dose distributions. This report provides a comprehensive overview of how dosimeters, phantoms, and dose distribution analysis techniques should be used to support the commissioning and quality assurance requirements of an IMRT program. The prop...

The paper is devoted to review of development and application of EPR dosimetry with teeth in Ukraine. It deals with specific features of the EPR dosimetry protocol, which was developed and is practically used in SCRM for retrospective dosimetry of clean-up workers (liquidators). Extensive methodological research was conducted in SCRM in order to develop an original version of EPR dosimetric pro...

Several national and international organizations have developed various types and levels of external audits for radiotherapy dosimetry, either based on on-site review visits or using mailed dosimetry systems. Three major TLD (thermoluminescent dosimetry) networks make available postal dose audits to a large number of radiotherapy centres on a regular basis. These are the IAEA/WHO TLD postal dos...
